Property manager wanted this gone so the house can go on the market.

all cleaned up and waiting for the glue gun to get hot.

Charles,

That is fantastic, absolutely a wonderful example to show and share. I am glad because I have a large urine stain to remove from a wool berber carpet that is about that size in just a week or so, I now have it clear in mind what to do with it, great example.

I am sure many will appreciate this repair.

Keep it up and you will have lots of property managers calling you.

Why do you use a glue gun to seal the seam? I have seen many installers use latex and it is also what I use.

 

[Stevea]

Luis,

Both are acceptable but when one used the system Charles was, it all fuses together and makes a very bonded repair, this is not what will happen with latex. Just another way of doing this repair and a matter of preference.

Hope that answers your questions.

Take care,
SA

after I sealed the seams with the glue, the donor piece actually sat a little high from the glue. when I used the Kool Glide on it, the donor piece sat down real nice and you could tell that it was in there good. I've only done a few repairs, and I used latex on the first couple. The glue gun is much easier and I was more confident with the quality of the repair.

Charles,

Great explanation and real life experience telling the story.
