What to do about the small gap (which the flooring instructions say

rather not install molding to cover the gap; how about using a

What kind of flooring? Usually it's laminate flooring that says that.
Don't tell me you put laminate in a bathroom?

Vinyl tiles (as stated in the subject line). BUT now I see conflicting
instructions: the requirement to leave a gap came not from the tile
packaging itself but from two different DIY books -- and one says to
leave a 1/8" gap, while the other says to leave a 1/4" gap.

The tile packaging says nothing about leaving a gap at all -- even
though there is a gap between the underlayment and the walls all
around.
