Re: Running Board Mat Installation Advice

I've never done this kind of running board job, BUT in the old days, formica installers would lay thin strips of bare wood between the formica and the countertop to keep the two contact cement-coated surfaces from touching.

Once the laminate was properly positioned, the wooden strips/sticks would be sequentially be pulled-out, thus lowering the formica onto the countertop, where it would be pressed tight.

Trying to "drop" an entire length of running board rubber into place without this technique sounds like an invite for a major headache! Bill.
