Installation and placement notes
Start by wiping the flooring surface where the gap needs attention. Next, position the suction cup and engage the quick-lock mechanism. Tap lightly to move the plank rather than forcing a large shift at once.
Textured or uneven floors can use the cuttable sticky pads to boost grip. Also, the pads rinse and reuse and leave no residue. The striking surface fits tight spots where targeted tapping is needed.
The sticky pads can be cut for the working area on textured flooring. In addition, the gap-cleaning blade supports cleanup before the suction and tapping sequence begins.
