Use a 3/16-inch V-notch trowel to comb wood-flooring adhesive evenly over the subfloor. Peterson prefers Bostik's Best moisture-cure urethane for its strong grip, low VOCs, and flexibility. If this adhesive gets on the floor or your hands, wipe it up with a cleaner, such as Bostik's Ultimate adhesive remover.
