Vinyl Self Stick Tiles

Actually it does! We have a place that is vacant most of the year so we decided to rent it. It's hot here in Tucson, 104 so we really don't want to stay any longer then necessary. We repainted, repaired, and got the house ready for renters. The small entry had damaged vinyl sheet so we decided that for such a small area (<20 sq ft) stick down tiles would be the easiest, quickest and lowest cost. The existing threshold between the tile and carpet is rounded metal that is slightly irregular leaving gaps that may collect dirt. Thought I might fill them with something. May not, tile looks really good the way it is. When if we re-floor the house, carpet, vinyl in kitchen and baths, will bring in a pro flooring person to do the job.

Tnx for your input

in order to fix the gaps, apply many coats of wax-the real floor wax like that which is used on commercial VCT.

I/32" seems too small to fill with slivers of scrap tiles. I think the best way to fix it and be happy is to reinstall, which I understand you are trying to avoid. Caulking will not work. The local distributors here have acrylic fillers which are easy to work with. With a wide-range of colors to choose from, you could easily find a color to match.
As for installing them to begin with, I would do so in a heartbeat if it were going in my own rental property. They are often extremely tenacious and, in the event that you have inconsiderate tenants who abuse the flooring, you are not out alot of dough.
