So, ripping up a little more parquet flooring before we get some carpet installed on Tuesday.
Well, the parquet in the kitchen came up pretty good, until I got to a place where the previous owners had nailed down the 1/2" particle board underlayment with ring shank nails. I thought that was hard to rip up.
I'm doing a small section today by the front door and hallway, and apparently, they not only used ring shanks to hold the underlayment down, but they splurged on some construction adhesive as well...
So, everynow and then when I pull up some of the underlayment, some of the subfloor comes up as well leaving some ragged long divots.
Do I need to fill these somehow before the carpet gets layed? What should I use?
Thanks!
