Haha...you know...I'm just gonna keep on bendin'. I've gotten enough done to do one trim strip so I think I'll just test-fit the lot tonight and, if all's well, I'll do another batch tomorrow. One thing I don't really need to worry about is the anti-rattle pads. Somehow, I think their purpose is nil when installing the trim over carpet. Plus, I figure 6 to a side is probably adequate.
