Once again another great tip I'll be using from now on! plus save some money on those plastic plugs. Since I've been using my power stretcher on all my carpet jobs I can't believe the difference in how the tight and flat the carpet looks. I was finishing off a carpet job that another installer had been to and done the rooms and when I fitted the large landing with the power stretcher I looked a the other installers work and couldn't believe how loose the carpet was compared to carpet I'd fitted with the stretchers!!
Would you ever consider using concrete adhesive instead of screwing it down into the concrete (maybe not because its metal material)? Also what tool do you use to cut the metal clean without bending? Great channel!
In the case that it's a rental property, would it be possible to just glue that track down and then clip that transition into place to prevent nailing or screwing thru the concrete?
I posted this question in the live chat, but I was kind of late. Is there another way to secure the transition piece to concrete without screws? I only have a regular drill.
eileen2041 Yes I would use PL8, and I would take a sandpaper to the bottom of your track and scuff it up a little bit so it will Have a texture in the glue will bond well to it, PL8 is a construction adhesive
You just gave me the nugget of knowledge I needed. Thank you so much for your time
Great advice. I used your idea to attach threshold for vinyl planks to concrete floor as well. Worked great. Thanks
Excellent!

Love the dowel hack. Doing it tomorrow on mine. How do you hammer the nails down into the track? Seems like you would be bending the track.
You saved me a headache on my current job.
😀👍
Very good idea. Looks good

Great trick!
TRY to HELP you 😀👍
Very useful tip 👍🏼

used toothpicks for years mostly on metals on concrete, or where necessary. I like this better
I have used everything from toothpicks to shaving slivers off of two by fours LOL

Sorry I’m a little late, I miss some of them sometimes, are use regular tinsnips, the one with yellow handles
@@FloorsbySouthernboys what about the adhesive question?
Thanks! Very good mentor!👌🏻
Thank you
The wood dowel is the ah-ha moment. Genius idea!
😀👍
Great. Video,
Ray Best Thank you sir
How deep do you drill
In the case that it's a rental property, would it be possible to just glue that track down and then clip that transition into place to prevent nailing or screwing thru the concrete?
As long as you get a good adhesion
@FloorsbySouthernboys thank you sir, great work, by the way
Hi! What exactly the name of the vinyl tile is? I love the color also where’d you get it form

Very interesting ! great help !
Glad you liked it

Just use a hammer drill, concrete shanks, and a stair tool to get the shank flush
Way better than the plastic anchors.
Guy Cleveland yes!!
@@FloorsbySouthernboys and for some reason I keep the tube of screws and the metal strips for something someday! Great post love ur content
Guy Cleveland That’s a good idea
Great trick. I'd use 1" drywall screws.

Can you use a electric drill to drill holes in concrete
mariah mcshane Yes with a Masonary bit
You will need a hammer drill.
how do you hammer the nail in without hurting the track?
Anthony Vallario Are use a Mail set or a flat head screwdriver
What if you don't have a hammer drill?
You might be able to use a regular drill in a hammer drill is just faster
@@FloorsbySouthernboys thans for the reply man..I'm in the process of this 1st time on a slab
@@feustond Well good luck buddy hope it turns out well for you
Who's Jerry?? Lol good information thank you.
How long are the nails
I can’t be sure, somewhere from 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch
The screws the give you are crap..as well as they dont tell you the size bit
Exactly, definitely need a better system
Your video says to concrete, yet we see flooring on both sides...
Wilburn Hutcheson It’s actually working down to vinyl, but the vinyl is only like a 16th of an inch thick so basically it’s going down to nothing
@@FloorsbySouthernboys ah, that makes sense.
Too many side conversations going.
Too much talking and greetings.
