Glue gun to seam carpet.

Most carpet fraying problems occur along the seam between two segments of carpet. Set heavy objects such as toolboxes on the seam until the glue on the tape cools and sets. This can require applying the hot glue to both segments of the carpet and then gluing the two segments together. Your second option for securing a carpet seam is to use a glue gun.

After that apply the hot glue to the gap. A glue gun works on fraying surfaces and will help you to glue those spaces back together so they do not stick out much. If you re installing carpet in your home and don t have a carpet seam iron you can use a regular clothing iron in a pinch. One of the first things to do is to snip any of the frayed edges.

It s shaped a little differently and isn t as heavy but it will melt the seam glue at its highest heat setting. Hold the two pieces of carpet together but do not get the glue onto the fibers. This can salvage a situation that might require replacing the entire room of carpet at a fraction of the cost. When making a seam the hot iron reactivates the adhesive allowing the edges to bond together to reduce seam peaking.

Press the carpet into the hot glue with a carpet roller or a rolling pin. Carpet edges pre sealed with hot melt will dry quickly and resist fraying.
