[British-cars] Non-LBC - glue floor coving seam

[Eric J Russell]

Apply some masking tape (painters tape tends to not leave residue) to the 
edges of the seam to protect against any glue that might squeeze out. Gently 
lift the loose edges and clean out any debris/old glue. Use a syringe to 
squirt appropriate glue under edges (i.e vinyl floor seam sealer: 
http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/article/0,,216707,00.html ) Lay a piece of 
wax paper over the seam and put something weighty over it. (a stack of 
magazines works well). Rest & recuperate.
