Help - laminate floor spacers not fitting

When I removed the carpet flooring in the room I noticed the drywall does not meet the concrete. Based on my research I saw that I needed special spacers so I could apply the laminate floor correctly. I have bought multiple types of spaces from the most expensive that they sell in Lowes/Home depot to the cheapest and none of them work because of that gap. They get stuck and cannot be pulled out once the laminate is placed or the cheap ones just don’t stay put. I was thinking I could place the poly caulk foam saver (picture attached) to fill in the gap between the drywall and concrete and then with that aligning with the drywall I could use the spacers. Would that work? Doesn’t anyone have any suggestions? submitted by /u/No_Sun8723 [link] [comments]
