The mats are great, but I am having a really hard time getting them to line up. I have about 70 mats in a rectangle and in a few spots there are unacceptable gaps.

So far I have reinstalled and gotten it slightly better by using a large mallet and 2x4 to force them to compress. Also I cleaned the floor again to provide better grip. Popped a chalk line on a 90 deg angle set by laser.

At the end of the day the space is large and the mats seem to be vary a good bit. What am I missing here? Does more people help to hold them down while you beat them into submission? I'm willing to try anything at this point, lol.

Do you have any pictures of the problem areas?
