What's the bit about 'didn't want to re-use it in case it shrunk'? Are you trying to get them to take it up again, then?
This stuff is generally stuck down with contact adhesive and the adhesive is spread ALL over the surface, so it then sticks it down ALL over.
Whilst it is true that surface heat could cause the vinyl to expand, I reckon that if it was stuck down properly in the first place this wouldn't have happened. There must be air under there.
Unless anyone else has a better explanation?
