The instructions for my Owens engineered flooring say to use weighting or rolling when installing. The area I am doing is only about 15 square feet and there's not enough room for a roller (which I don't have anyway). How much weight should I use and how distribute it? I have a bunch of cinder blocks so I was thinking of setting them on some lathes on top of the floor--will that work? Do I even need to weight it? The floor is flat--I used self-leveling underlayment. Do I press the wood down when I lay it? I am using Bostik urethane. Thanks,

Walk eack board into the glue. Meaning set a board and then stand on it to weight it down into the glue bed. If you have a hollow spot when complete, weight it down with your cinder blocks.
