No such thing as a dumb question Mike, we're all here to learn.
The off cut of carpet was coureired to me. I pulled off 1 of each rows and then I sit it in a adhesive and Lacquer Remover solution over night to dissolve the latex off it.
The next morning, I wash the yarn in a woolsafe approved detergent and rinse 3-4 times to completely remove the NVDS and then wash it again in a acid rinse and again rinse 3-4 times in water.
I then lay it out to dry on the dashboard of my vehicle.
Doesn't take long, but sounds like a something that helps justify the cost.
Shorty, I charge $1/km and $160 Min. I think google calculated it at 250 km when I quoted this job so my quote was for $410+GST
The job onsite took me 20 minutes including chit chat, meet and greet etc.
Total job time including travel netted $100/hr +GST
