After placing each carpet tile onto the adhesive, firmly press down on its entire surface. This ensures maximum contact with the adhesive and helps to 'seat' the tile properly, preventing air pockets and ensuring a strong bond. The worker in the video consistently presses down on the tiles with their hands or knees after placing them.
