I'm installing floating laminate flooring across a 12' wide room. That length means I'll have 3 - 4 pieces per row. I'm supposed to clamp the first three rows for 1.5 hours, but how many clamps should I use? Two can't possibly be enough. Should I rent an 8-clamp installation kit?

Thanks in advance.

You could do worse. I know a number of wood workers who claim " you can never have too many clamps". You will not have the opportunity to go out and get more once you start.
