Question about using a heat gun to stretch vinyl plank ends
My boss in Phoenix told me to never use a heat gun on the ends of rigid core planks, but after a tricky hallway job last week where the last row had a 1/4 inch gap, I tried it carefully and it closed up perfectly, so now I'm wondering if his rule is too strict or if I just got lucky.

Yeah, your boss is being way too careful. I had the same gap issue on a job last month with some CoreLuxe planks. Gave the end a quick pass with the heat gun on low, just enough to warm it, and tapped it home with a pull bar. No buckling, no problems. Sometimes you gotta bend the rules to get the job done right.
