    just a quick question, im sure all of you who have layed karndean, not sure about amtico and other hard floorcoverings as ive only worked with karndean, but you get the odd hairline gap, the boy who learned me gets me to rub wood filler on wooden ranges that match the floor, or use high temp. glue on any of the non.-woode ranges.

    just looking for any tips, if yous have any :smile:

    Where do you have these gaps?

    usually between pin stripes and the tile, or border and tiles etc

    If the floor is stuck down and flat and the gaps are not too unsightly then you could use a colour filler using a grout spatula to hid ethe "black-line".

    The only time I get any gaps is occasionally when using HT adhesive. They're fairly minor and I might fill them with clear silicone and a soft spatula.

    HT can be a nightmare like, depending on the size of area.
    the guy i work with gets me to use wood filler then grab some of the customers kitchen roll and wipe away haha
