After placing the molding with adhesive, you should not step on it immediately. Follow the adhesive's instructions for the appropriate set time. For added security and to hold the molding firmly in place while the glue dries, use a small nailer, such as a brad nailer, to drive a few small nails through the molding into the subfloor. This provides both chemical (adhesive) and mechanical (nails) fastening, ensuring a strong and lasting hold. The result will be a nice, clean finish that tapers down smoothly from one floor level to the next, preventing any potential tripping hazards.
