Right, now I'm confused. I've bought Screwfix's Kaindl glueless laminate
floor system and the front of the instructions shows a symbol representing a
tube of glue with crossing out through it. Although I'm no expert, based on
the above I'd be betting that there was no glue required for the installation.

But.. step 12 on the detailed instructions shows what looks like glue being
spread along the tongue of the mating section prior to jointing to the
adjacent plank. Huh?

Does the "glueless" in glueless laminate floor refer to the fact that the
floor isn't glued to the floorboards / slab below, but not necessarily that it
isn't glued together? Seems a bit daft if that's the case, but I can't think
of another explanation for the instructions involving glueing of the planks.
