I finally gave in and tried that double-sided tape trick for transitions

My buddy Frank, who's been doing this for twenty years, kept telling me to use a strip of double-sided carpet tape under the metal track for floating floors. I always thought it was a waste of time, but on a job last month in a drafty old house, the transition kept popping up. I tried it his way, and it hasn't budged since. Anyone else have a simple fix they swore was dumb until it worked?

That "simple fix they swore was dumb" thing is so real. My cousin laughed at using a wax paper trick for a sticky drawer, but it slides like new now. Sometimes the old ways just work.

Totally get it. I once used a bar of soap on a squeaky hinge while my roommate watched like I was performing dark magic.
