Hi Kevin! Good place to practice on!

I'm interested in the answers from others but incase there arent any ideas,
I'd look at colored acrylic 'caulk' that matches the vinyl as close as you

fill the gap, smoothing with the back of a spoon and wiping with a damp
towel as you go. Let dry completely before anyone steps on it. If the
flooring and caulk are dark, it should work well enough for a laundry room?
