  2. Estimate cut-outs in recesses and areas where whole sheets can not be used; the linoleum must be cut with a very sharp blade, preferably with a cutter the cut should be performed on wooden boards so as not to crawl the blade on the floor.
  3. Regarding the installation in the recesses you will need to cut and verify the correctness before gluing.
  4. It is advisable to spread the putty at one end of the floor, in the fixing area of ​​the first layer of linoleum, for a width of at least 40-50 cm, using a notched trowel.
