Works like a charm. Just like the instructions say. Use drop cloths as it is messy. I poured the product directly into the syringe and, a small amount leaked from the needle. It was not a problem. After reading others reviews I was prepared and worked over a drop cloth. Keep several wet rags around to wipe up drips. I attempted to walk on the repaired surface immediately after making the repair and some product oozed from the board joints so, I just let it sit for 3 or 4 hours and all was fine. I've been walking on it, as it is in a high traffic area, for about a week and its just as solid as if the hollow was never there.

I had several noisy spots in one area of my bedroom floor. It is engineered wood on top of a concrete slab. I used my knuckles, tapping to see where, and how extensive the problem was. I called a flooring company. They wanted to replace the entire floor. That would be many thousands of dollars. I called two handy-man ads. They never showed up. I had no other choices, and the job made me nervous. Finally, I took a chance on the DriTac Wood Floor Repair Kit. The tips in other reviews were a big help, and I want to thank those people for being so helpful. I did do some things differently though.As another reviewer recommended, before starting, I used Vaseline to lubricate the plunger. I don't know if it helped, but it certainly didn't hurt.1. I drilled all the holes for each repair at once. There were eleven holes.2. I used parchment paper to try to minimize the mess. It helped a lot. I could put down the bottle, hypo, and other tools on sheets around the work area. The paper caught a lot of drips and spills.3. I took the plunger out of the hypo, and placed the rest of the hypo standing up with the needle in the hole. I then poured the adhesive into the hypo while a sheet of parchment paper with a slit in it for the needle caught any mess while pouring. That worked well.4. I discovered that the needle was pressing and sealing against the slab, preventing injecting the adhesive. I pulled up slightly and that allowed injecting. But that was sometimes messy, as it was difficult to determine how much to lift it up. If I were doing it again, I'd try cutting a slanted opening on the needle so the adhesive could be injected without lifting the entire unit up. But, they way I did it worked okay.5. I worked my way around from hole to hole, injecting the adhesive. I got into a rhythm, and it got easier as I went on. Sometimes adhesive would come up through a different hole. On one spot, the adhesive came up between two floor planks. So, there was still a little mess.6. I tapped in the wooden dowel, and used a knife to cut them off. I then tapped the part that was in the hole to get it below the surface.7. I cleaned the area and got all of the adhesive off. That took a little time.8. I waited about a day to see how it would work out. It was clear though that it was looking very good.9. I danced around on the repaired area, very happy to have it work so well.10. I rested my back and knees for the next day. I'm in my 70's so I was hurting a bit. :)This saved me a lot of money over alternative solutions. The product works really well. For my 2 foot by 5 foot area with about 10 spots to fill, the adhesive in the kit was enough, with very little left.

I had some engineered wood floor installed in Feb. 2013. By Feb 2014 I had several areas that became unglued for whatever reason. I think my slab was not level in some areas. I bought this kit as it had great reviews. It worked very well and my hollow spots are now gone. I am 100% happy I no longer hear squeaky or loose boards. Since i had many bad spots to repair i had plenty of trial and error attempts to figure out the best way to apply this product. From my experience I would recommend the following. Have a wet towel handy to wipe up any glue that spills.1. Wear an old shirt and plan to throw it away when you are done.2. Identify all the bad areas and drill all holes before hand.3. Put a light coat of lube on the rubber grommet at the end of the plunger that goes into the syringe. This will REALLY help push the glue out4. Do not attempt to suck the glue up with the syringe. It will not work.5. Remove syringe plunger, put your index finger on the tip of the needle and pour the glue in directly.6. Do not install the plunger in the syringe yet.7. Put the syringe needle in the drilled hole. It will not leak when you remove your finger from the needle.8. Once the needle is in the hole put the plunger in and begin to push the glue out.9. Repeat the steps for all holes.10. I filled no more than 5 holes at a time then i inserted the wood dowel.This was by far the easiest way to apply the product with minimal mess. The wood dowels are larger than the drilled holes. I found the best way to install them was to use a pencil sharpener to lightly sharped the dowel so i could easily drive it in the hole. I used wire cutters to cut the dowel flush to the floor. Then i used the supplied metal tap to drive the wood dowel just a hair below the floor surface. My floor is dark so I used a black sharpie to color the wood dowel. It is very hard to see any repair was ever made. I would give this kit 4 stars and the only reason I would not give it 5 is because the syringe tip does not lock in place. It fell off on me a few times as I was applying the glue in the hole. Made a mess...hence have a wet towel handy. Buy an extra (better) syringe.
