    Anyone shed any light on gaps in lvt it was pressure sensitive glue used to stick it? How can it be sorted without lifting it?

    What product is it ?

    If its got a decent wear layer you can run the side of a flat screw driver along the headers to close them up Make sure its blunt preferably rounded of and dont slip.
    You have to apply a little force but it does work
