    hi guys. A customer asked me a question today that had me stumped. Why do I got gripper so small when I’m sticking it to a concrete floor. I have always done it as it’s the way I was trained I know it’s got to be around 15cm a piece but I thought it was to spread the load of the stretch over the smaller bits. Is this wrong?

    Thats it, any bigger and it will pop.
    Sometimes I glue, and pin, and then use a full stick

    Also enable the gripper to have full contact/ bond to the subfloor as it is never super flat and also to follow contour of the wall as they are never straight either :)

    i'm terrible with carpet but my bro says it like Busylay, to keep the gripper stick in contact with the subfloor
