Abstract:
1. A method of joining two linoleum sheets on a substrate comprising: positioning a first linoleum sheet on the substrate; positioning a second linoleum sheet on the substrate adjacent the first linoleum sheet, each linoleum sheet having two major surfaces and a seam edge interposed between the major surfaces of the linoleum sheets, the seam edges being proximate each other; adhering the linoleum sheets to the substrate with a first adhesive; and applying a second non-epoxy adhesive, different from the first adhesive, to one of the seam edges in the form of a bead while the two adjacent linoleum sheets form an open seam and then forming a closed seam between the two adjacent linoleum sheets, whereby the seam is substantially filled with the non-epoxy adhesive and any of the second non-epoxy adhesive interposed between the linoleum sheets and the substrate is limited to the area within one linoleum sheet thickness of the seam.
