Now there is a wrinkle/crease on our 1 day old vinyl.....is there any way to repair this? If I roll it back and glue it down, do you think that will help?

And yes, loose lay sucks, but they're very popular since they require less substrate prep making the installation cheaper. Jaz __________________ Tile 4 You LLC Troy, MI KERDI Shower Specialist ...
