How to fix a hollow sound herringbone floorboard?

Hi Community, I am new here and have a question regarding my engineered timber floor Herringbone project.

It is all going well so far, but after finishing half of the room I found 2 Herringbone boards being hollow and they crack when you walk over it.

All the others are rock solid glued to the concrete.

 

I found the product „Dritac wood floor repair kit“ - https://www.dritac.com/product/dritac-engineered-wood-floor-repair-kit/ , which seems to be exactly what I need. Unfortunately, this product is only available from overseas as far as my research goes.

 

I don’t think that this problem does not exist in Australia, but I was unable to find an equivalent product or workaround.

 

Anyone here who can recommend a similar product available in Australia? That would be much appreciated, as I wanted to fix it rather sooner than later.

Hello @FloorLayer 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your engineered timber floor.

 

I've had a good look and I'm afraid I can't find an equivalent to the DriTac kit you are referring to. The only product that remotely does the same thing is the Timbermate Group 28g PC Super Epoxy Syringe. But it can't be directed into very small spaces as it does not use a steel syringe outlet.

 

Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Good Afternoon @FloorLayer 

😕 I am afraid I dont know of any product that would do the same (tho have filed your indo away as its a good thing to know) 

You may be surrprised at how fast things turn up from OS, I deal with a lot of orders for people from overseas and a solid 90% of the orders arrive unexpectedly fast. Right up to the point of faster then things ordered within Australia and worst case from Sydney to the Gong being slower then from the States to the Gong :smile:

 

Welcome to the Bunnings community page :smile: Its a good place to ask exactly what you have. If you happen to try another product I would be interested in knowing how it goes :smile:
