Basically, this first step is to remove a section of underlayment and replace it with a smaller piece of underlayment which will be able to move slightly. The whole effort is about making a stair nose molding a flush mount instead of an overlapping one.Here's what you will be doing to mate the pieces together.The slip piece is screwed gently to the subfloor, then the 1/4" gaps are aligned for the last time. (I'll show how the screws are done, later)The stair nose molding is glued in place first, but you need some way to keep it and the slip piece from moving until the adhesive sets.Next, the individual planks are fit and glued one at a time.I splined each end butt plank as I fit them to the nose piece, mainly for alignment purposes.[ATTACH=full]3558[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]3560[/ATTACH]
