The big difference here is simply heat activated carpet tape and the tool to heat it. Thanks for the demonstration to show the quality of heat activated tape versus the cheap double sided tape.
Thanks for the heads up. I am facing doing repairs on new carpet that has spilled wood stain on it. I bought some of this dyi backing tape. Now I'm going to get the heat setting tape. I wish you had shown alternative heat setting methods.
For context it sort of pilled up, with only a quarter sized dollop of stain on top. The rest that was underneath, had turned into a large pile. Made a weird and awful mound in the carpet, after yanking the carpet up to get it unstuck from the floor, I then cut and proceeded with repair. Easy fix
thanks for making this video... If I'm seaming a carpet with this double sided tape do i stick the carpet to the underlay?.. i notice you didn't take the back off your tape in the video...thanks again

Your repair looks the best of all the diy repair jobs I have seen on TH-cam.
Nice seeing the difference
i think it would help letting people know carpet lays in same direction when seaming etc...
Great Video Nick. 👊🏻
Thanks Anthony

Literally had the same reason for watching this video, following this video works perfectly. And I had an entire damn pint of stain spilled!

Wow, professional seems so simple.
Great vid mate!👍👍
Awesome video! Thank you.
You're welcome!
Is it possible to use an everyday normal iron with a sheet over the carpet?
Can you use the iron to get a better stick with the diy repair tape?

You can if you want to, I didn't because if it touches the underlay it's hard to get it unstuck and will usually tear the underlay.
I think both of them are DIY, you just need to have the best tools
Impressive,😅
Is their a cheaper alternative to the kool glide iron?
Yes, here are a few different methods - th-cam.com/video/kW4A_jkDc5M/w-d-xo.html
If you put tacks or staples in the diy, it wouldn't come loose either
"professional" aint no way🤣
🤣
The DIY method is definitely a mess, they should just forget it and hire someone to do it right
Absolutely!
