Hi,
I need to cut away about 1m2 of chipboard flooring around the floor drain in my bathroom. This is due to an old moisture damage and a new drain needs to be installed. I will cut right in the middle of the floor joists and thus get a good "anchor" for the new chipboard. I will add blocking where necessary! However, since I'm cutting, I won't be able to use the tongue and groove, so I'll have to glue board to board and board to floor joist. Then I'll also screw it.
Is this okay?
What kind of glue should be used?

I can't remove the entire chipboard in the bathroom because the chipboards were laid throughout the house before the partition walls were erected. I'd still end up with the same problem anyway!

Yes. It's a standard procedure during "repair". Personally, I didn't use a reglade but rather glued and screwed a sparse panel under the edge around the cut hole.
 
As Linnex says, it's going well. Use winterlim.
 
Skip the winter glue and use regular white outdoor glue (PVAC), the winter glue is just a frost-protected indoor glue that you can keep in the service vehicle.

Why do chipboard suppliers specify that winter glue should be used then?
 
Saw it later and I don't understand it at all, strength etc. shouldn't differ at all according to those I've talked to at Bostik. However, if you look at the specs a bit, the winter adhesive is apparently supposed to be more elastic and resistant in a different way, so I think I should have another chat with Bostik to see if there are new requirements, new adhesives, or what.

Anyway, ignore my comment, of course, you should follow the supplier's instructions. It's just strange that it was about a year ago that I had this exact discussion and then checked with Bostik *mutter*

Yes, that's what I had understood as well, that it was more elastic and durable.
 
Winter glue doesn't "grab" as quickly under pressure, making it easier to handle since you have some time to make adjustments. With regular glue, you almost can't place things before it grips tightly.
