I have a gap against the wall and at one door frame in the middle of the LVT I had put in. This was done nearly a year ago but I just noticed it and can’t unsee it. I could put in shoe molding for the pieces against the wall but not the door frame. It needs to be pulled towards the door. I saw a video where double sided tap was used to fasten a block of wood to the plank and a hammer was used to move it. My concern is damage to the floor from the tape. Anyone have experience with this and what brand or type of tape did you use if so? Also, any other ideas or comments welcome.

I had this problem with LVT. It shrunk over the winter and left more than a few gaps. I bought a suction cup (glass lifting tool) which grips the LVT and then tap it with a rubber mallet to move the tile.
Please educate me.
What an LVT?
Thanks
