Where are the squeaks?
They are in the kitchen; one is in an area where I could not use the floor nailer but there's little traffic, one in a high traffic area. No idea why it is squeaking. Not the subfloor.
Not sure what I'll do either. Was thinking a few face nails, but I'm afraid that won't do anything for it. Maybe I'll just have to go with a couple of screws and then cover that somehow. It's prefinished so I don't think plugging would work well.
You could try some talcum powder at the joints but this wouldn't be forever. Are the squeaks at the board end joints? If so, couple of options. 1. Drive a couple of finish nails at an angle toward each other. 2. Use trim head screws...countersink and cover with matching filler....if possible put the screw in an area where you can get a good filler match....darker area is better.
