Serious question, has anyone else tried using a heat gun on stubborn vinyl plank seams?

My uncle told me to always use a 6 mil vapor barrier on concrete slabs, even if the builder says it's dry.

Had a beer with a retired installer who said he never used a moisture meter on slab jobs, just the plastic sheet test. Said meters gave him more false readings than real help over 30 years.

Bought a cheap moisture meter for a glue-down job and it cost me a $500 redo

I swore by my old belt sander for years, but a job in Tacoma last month made me switch.

I used a whole bottle of that 'instant cure' wood filler on a big oak floor gap. It set up in 90 seconds, rock hard, and now my sander just skates over it. Looks like a shiny river of plastic.

Remember when we could just lay a floor without checking for wifi signals?

I read a study about how much time we spend on subfloor prep and the number was way higher than I thought

Warning: I keep seeing guys skip the moisture test on concrete slabs and it's a ticking time bomb.
