Install the flooring planks* by leaving a 1" inch (25mm) gap
for the installation of the SlimTrim. Center the SlimTrack
between the two laminate floors and screw it to the sub
floor by using #6 screws.
Line the SlimTrim molding up with the SlimTrack and fit
one end into the molding. Using a rubber mallet, tap the
molding until it engages with the track.
Use your hand to
guide the molding into the track as you work your way down,
tapping it in, similar to how you would close a zip-loc bag.
Next, go up and down the molding several times, tapping the
Slim Trim all the way into the track. You can use a little more
force once you are sure it is properly engaged in the track.
