laminate install question (wall at 45 angle)
Hi,
What's the recommended method of installation when the last piece is cut at 45 degrees to conform to the wall . Using a tapping block (to mate the short ends) is kind of tricky because its hard to generate enough force in the right direction to lock the pieces. see pic pre ____________________ ____________________| _________|__________| _____|_________X_____\ _________|________X___\ _____|_________X_______\ /pre i was thinking of shaving a bit off the tongue & groove at point (X)to make them easy to mate and then running a thin bead of glue to lock them any better suggestions thanks, vin |
