I planned to start laying the trim strips, but when I place a piece, I get a small gap, I don't know why. The piece fits perfectly in my groove, double-checked while routing.
Note that if you lift slightly at the back end, it becomes tight and nice, so I'm torn between filling up the sides a bit or not.
If I do, the trim strip will sit higher than the rest of the floor, but that can be sanded down. It's a bit more work, but I'll leave that out
I have also experienced this in certain places, but it is usually where the floor slopes slightly outward. Does it fit if you lay two pieces flat together on the workbench?

Yep, it's enough for me to lay it up
On the floor, it comes together.
As mentioned, it was just a problem in certain places, I didn't bother about the little gap there. In other areas, it fit together nicely. The important thing is to mill at the right height, be extremely precise when making the adjustment.
As I said, it was only a problem in certain places, I ignored the small gap there. In other places, it went together nicely. The important thing is that you mill at the right height, be extremely careful when you make the adjustment.
I took a stave and adjusted the height using that
How does the gap look now? When the floor is finished? And treated.
Wondering if I should fill it or just accept the gap and
Go ahead
Don't know, it's not something I think about directly. I've placed fiskben in 5 different rooms/spaces now, so I don't even remember where the problem was. When the floors are sanded and treated, you don't think about such small things. If you look at the old original floors, they look significantly worse.

So it's okay? Just go ahead,
No need to fill the floor?

You know you can fill with sanding dust and oil? It won't be 100%, but the gaps will be less visible and it will be the right color. If the rods are properly dried, you probably won't notice any difference throughout the year.
Today's tip... Don't buy an angle gauge at Clas Ohlsson... Difficult to get the exact angle. Plus, it can only be used in one direction. But well... 100kr, so what can you expect hahah
Accept it! It's a wooden floor you're laying, it will move a bit, and some cracks will exist or appear no matter how perfectly you lay it. It's not a laminate floor... Don't overdo it, just do it well but remember that perfect can sometimes be the enemy of good.
Approve! It is a wooden floor you’re laying, it will move a bit and some cracks will exist or appear regardless of how perfectly you lay it. It is not a laminate floor... Don’t overwork it but do it well, and remember that perfect is sometimes the enemy of good.
/K
Hehehe.... That's what the guy I bought the floor from also said.... That it's impossible to get it 100% even for those who have been laying it for 20 years, but for an amateur like me, it's hard to know what you will see when everything is finished and not.
Thanks for the post.
I will glue the skirting boards, as it will be difficult to nail, I can't really reach, so now I’m trying to finish laying the skirting boards, to then glue everything at once.
