Special tools are required to fuse the seam. If this is not done properly, over time water can begin to curl the seam. Cheers. Greetings: Real linoleum can be tricky if you have to have a seam.

Best to really warm it up, do it during hot weather, and gingerly test it. Old linoleum can be very fragile, so it may crack if you try to unroll it if its cold.

Searched all over the net for vintage linoleum. Settled for black & white school type tile. Not much different laying vintage unless it's too cold. Measure twice then measure twice more, then cut (your cardboard template). Now to window shop for my 1902 parlor!

She's a friend of my father's, and over the years he's bought tons of amazing stuff from her. Mostly furniture, but still.... what an awesome resource.
