Step 5 · Step 5: Secure the Bond – Center Outward

To ensure a complete, air-free bond, start by pressing down firmly in the center of the tread. Then, work your way outward toward the edges, smoothing out any potential air bubbles. Pay special attention to the corners and edges to prevent any lifting. Using a small hand roller or even a flat, solid object like a book can help apply consistent pressure for a perfect finish.
