@@KZbinApe It was old lino, in an old bathroom, in an old house. So the lino wasn't quite smooth and neither was the floor underneath it. It was a big ask for some tape. I'd even doubled the strips up but it bubbled up again after about half an hour in various spots around the edge. I'll have to go back at some point and have another bash at it, perhaps with new lino 🤷♂ and contact adhesive 😁

Extra tips: #1 (learned when Armstrong used to sell a “trim & fit kit” very much like what she’s using): when you lay out the paper on the existing floor (and you don’t need really special paper, you can get inexpensive rolls of even brown paper from an office supply chain store), besides taping the edges of the paper sheets together you can make it impossible for the paper to accidentally slip around or to not lay completely flat, so the temple is absolutely perfect. Use a sharp razor blade in a utility knife or x-acto hobby knife-or you can even hold the razor blade alone if you’re not accident prone-and throughout the plane of paper, every 12 to 16 inches or so in all directions across the paper LIGHTLY slice a V shape about an inch tall just through the paper. Then flip the paper point of that V up to create small triangular holes. You can then press small, roughly square, pieces of 1+1/4 or 1+1/2 inch wide masking tape across those holes so that the paper is lightly attached to the floor and completely smooth. After you make the template as she’s demonstrated, remove it slowly so that the tape remains on the paper and bridging the holes. Then when you lay the template on the new vinyl sheet, the tape will lightly stick to the new vinyl and not shift around at all. #2 It’s really important that you don’t use the template on vinyl that’s colder than the room it needs to fit. Lay it somewhere that’s about the same temperature as the room you’re going to put it in & leave it there awhile to relax, lose its memory of having been rolled up, and to do any slight expanding it may need to do, because it will have slightly contracted if it spent time anywhere colder than the room you’ll be laying it in. If you use the template on cold vinyl and then move it to the warm room where you intend to attach it, it’ll slightly expand in that room and turn out to be just slightly larger than the space you cut it for! That’ll make it buckle, and you’ll have to fight & do some trimming to get it to fit. #3 consider using newfangled adhesive that will allow you to lift & reposition the vinyl if necessary. if any foreign crumb has sneaked in under the vinyl (you can slide around in socks to feel for such things) it’s nice to be able to pull the vinyl away from easy-release adhesive to get to the crumb and remove it without having to worry that your adhesive has already gotten an iron grip on the vinyl and that lifting it could easily make the vinyl tear! In fact, if you used traditional adhesive and then find a pimple created by a crumb, you’ll be much safer making a very small V cut through the vinyl to pick it out than to fight traditional adhesive, unless the pimple is so close to the edge of the vinyl that you don’t have much vinyl to pry up. #4 lastly, it’s well worth the money to rent a 50 to 75 pound roller that you can push around like a lawnmower after you’ve glued down the vinyl. Some big box stores will even loan you a roller for free. You’ll want to carry it to the center of the room and roll away from the center in all directions just 3 feet at a time, eventually working all the way to the edges. That’ll get rid of any air bubbles under the vinyl, so that every bit of it is in full contact with the floor. Leaving any bubbles can later bite you in the butt when you push furniture into or around the room, because an edge can catch on an innocent looking bubble and stretch a tear through your new floor. Don’t be at all nervous, it’s very easy to fit & install vinyl if you just avoid these few pitfalls. Enjoy,

@@Emily34593 In my experience, a small room like a bathroom is easier to do by making a template. I tape thing cardboard together to fit the room exactly and then lay the vinyl out on a floor large enough to hold the shape. Trace around the template and cut the sheet vinyl. You can then just drop it into place. Foe larger rooms, I can just drop the full sheet down, then press into the wall and keep trimming it down, a bit at a time, going around the room. Eventually you will have it trimmed exactly to fit.

Template is the way to go. One quip, if the paper roll was facing down (not up), I think it would be easier. And when it comes to cutting the straight parts on the vinyl, I'd use a straight edge (like a metal yard stick, etc). And I saw another tip: cut holes in the template at various points and then tape the template onto the actual vinyl. That'll keep it from sliding around. But you glue the WHOLE THING down? "Loose lay" is an approved method for small spaces like this when the vinyl has a rubber backing.

@@Emily34593 I cut the straightest edge first then leave a few inches all around. Put it in the room and cut the excess off each side. When it lays flat roll 1/2 over onto the other side and glue. Lay that side in place then pull the unglued side up lay it over on the finished side. Glue that second half down and then start from the middle and roll out toward the edges. Do any final cut then. Usually you have a 1/2 trim board around the edge covering any miss cut. Just use the right trowel. 1/16 x 1/16 I recall. Not a whole lot of adhesive.
