What happens here
When working in confined areas or around door frames where a full plank won't fit or requires complex cuts, utilize scrap pieces of flooring. Instead of cutting a new plank, use a saved cut-off piece that fits the space. For an exact fit around door jambs or other irregular shapes, trace the outline onto a scrap piece of flooring and then use a jigsaw or oscillating tool to cut it. For areas where a full plank doesn't perfectly align, liquid nails can be used to glue smaller pieces down to the subfloor, ensuring they remain secure and flush, with brad nails providing additional reinforcement. Blue painter's tape can be used to hold pieces in place while the adhesive dries.
Goal: Efficiently fill small or irregular spaces using scrap planks and adhesive.
