I know everyone loves the quick-dry adhesives, but last Thursday in that old Portland craftsman house, the original oak planks shifted overnight and I had to redo 400 square feet.

Sometimes the old ways are better for a reason, so what's the longest you've waited for a traditional adhesive to set before laying the floor?

Honestly, that 72-hour wait is nothing. Saw a guy on a historic restoration swear by a full week for hide glue in a damp basement. Makes you wonder, right? We're so obsessed with speed now, but some things just can't be rushed.
