We have a small enclosed porch that we put peel and stick tile on. A new subfloor was put down and primed with a latex primer. The tile keeps popping up on the edges in alot of places and we have no idea what to do. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Meem

Quite frankly, I'd replace the whole thing with sheet linoleum if you can afford it. I've never been able to get the 'lick-n-stick' tiles to stay fastened down reliably.

If you can't afford a whole re-flooring, try getting some of the mastic for linoleum and re-glue the tiles. You'll still get some gaps, though where the tiles expand & shrink with temperature & humidity changes.
