CalFlor FL49106CF VinylFix, Mix2Match Vinyl & LVT Repair Kit

I recently had the opportunity to use a floor gap filling kit to address the noticeable gaps between the boards in my recently installed flooring. Overall, the product proved to be a reliable solution, but there were a few aspects that left room for improvement.One of the standout features of the kit was its ability to seamlessly match the floor, effectively concealing the gaps between the boards. The included color chart was a valuable tool in this process, providing clear instructions on how to create the perfect color blend. Following the chart's guidelines resulted in a finish that seamlessly blended with the existing floor, enhancing its overall appearance.However, a notable downside was the quantity of the mixture when following the color chart. I found that the amount was insufficient to fill in the larger gaps between the floorboards adequately. This necessitated multiple rounds of mixing the color and putty, which, unfortunately, extended the overall application process. If I had been aware of this limitation beforehand, I would have opted to prepare a larger batch initially to streamline the application process.Despite this drawback, the effectiveness of the product in filling the gaps and the accuracy of the color matching process ultimately won me over. The kit's inclusion of a comprehensive color chart demonstrated a commitment to user-friendliness, making the entire process relatively straightforward.In conclusion, while the floor gap filling kit delivered on its promise of seamlessly concealing gaps and matching floor colors, the need for additional mixing and the possibility of underestimating the quantity required were slight inconveniences. With a bit of foresight and an understanding of the product's limitations, users can achieve satisfying results with this floor gap filling solution.

The color codes, at least for vinyl, seem to be way off. Maybe their printer messed up the color chart. Everything is just way too light, and not brown enough, compared to their charts. But, if you can learn to be an artist, then this will work. It shrinks more than I thought. I've refilled about 4 times, one small vinyl seam. At least I am benefiting from learning how to get a better color match with each fill. I can easily tell that green is needed in my mixes, but none of the color combinations list to add yellow (plus blue) to get some green. I've added that myself. Really, they must have a color printing error in the instructions right now.

I've used this twice, to fill and color small nicks in my kitchen vinyl floor. It works really well. The instructions have a color chart that you can hold on your floor to figure out which color best matches your floor. Then the instructions tell you exactly how to mix the different colors to get the color you need, and you mix it up and dab it into the chip. It holds up very well, and once it's in, you can't tell where the patch is because it matches very effectively.

Tried to fix my floor with this and it does work well but it's hard to get the color exact

This stuff really kicks butt! You can blend it into your floor easily. If the repair is missing a lot of material it might be noticeable but barely if you blend it right.To get this to work and avoid many of the complaints here is what I did:1. RTFM. Seriously, read the instructions. If you actually follow them, they work.2. You will need more q-tips and make yourself some blend sticks. They don't have to be popsicle sticks, use whatever will work, but you still need quite a few. They get sticky.3. I found its better to let it dry then clean it up with mineral spirits or paint thinner for the finer work (cleaning right around the area you just fixed). The reason for this is if any of the cleaner gets on the area it will change colors or ruin the adhesion.4. PREP PREP PREP. This is the most important part. The area must be clean, including the floor underneath you need to stick to. Clean it all up according to the instructions, and then right before you apply your mixture, clean the area with alcohol and let the alcohol dry. This will remove any residue from the cleaners you used and make sure that it will stick.5. Remember every once in a while it *might* dry a half shade darker. I've only had this happen once on a dark color, but it can happen.6. Add texture or coloring lines AFTER it's all dried and good to go. I had to do this on a faux mosaic vinyl and doing it once it was dry it blended perfect.7. If you had to fix a large area and have to do intricate lines or the like afterward, I put a tiny bit of clear coat over it to make sure it didn't get rubbed off by a mop or the like. I sprayed the clear coat on a gloved hand and poured just a bit on the area and spread it out with a foam brush. This helped protect it and I could control the shine by removing as much as I wanted while leaving enough protectant behind to be sure it stayed in good shape.I hope you found this helpful!

I had a large tear in my linoleum floor. I read the instructions for the product over and over. I looked at you tube videos for Calflor vinyl repair. The videos by calflor were not helpful at all. The link on the box for “tips”was only a repeat of the instructions on the box. I spent days taking care of this to be sure it looked good. The last application was of the color. It doesn’t match. I used the color chart in the instructions but it looked too dark, so I added more white. As you can see by the picture not only did it dry too dark but it dried with cracks all thru it. The match was pretty good before it dried.
