Use a scrap piece of flooring, or you can always buy one of those plastic blocks. That and a rubber mallet will help tighten all your gaps after you put each piece in.
You don't want to start banging on engineered "click" flooring.

Oh and to answer the question in the title of the thread?

Anywho, you guys told me what I wanted to know.

Thanks.
Fixing the problem is one thing, Fixing what caused said problem is a whole different thing.:2

What you are doing is called A floating floor. Be sure to place a quality piece of styrofoam padding underneath do not go for the cheap stuff. You need to glue all the tongues and grooves together, and be sure to leave a 3/8 inch gap for expansion and then apply a shoe mold which will usualy come in the same as the flooring. Its easy and you should have no problems. Also break the joints 8 to 12 inches no less.

The old floating floors were glue together. The current ones on the market are not. They have a locking system where the planks lock into each other at the joint. Do not try to glue a floor that's meant to be glueless.

Yes you are right the current ones are not thought about it after I posted.
