to butt the edge up
When doing lino repairs at home in the past, I've often used a "Sichelmesser", more commonly known in those days as a "lino-knife" because that's what it's used for; the German term comes from its shape.
When you lay a crudely-cut piece of lino to offer it up to the hole which is cut and prepared, you will usually need to trim the edge. If you offer the edge of your workpiece to the edge of the floor to be repaired at the same level, you will be "butting the edges against each other", and be able to trim the finest slivers off the flooring with the lino-knife.
