Instabind Synthetic Serge Style Carpet Binding (Cactus Flower)

The result looks as if it was hand sewn! The backing under the tape is adhesive but not very sticky. Nut, it is a small narrow version of the very strong carpet tape that installers use when they bond on piece to another when they lay and stretch your wall-to=-wall carpet! The adhesive hold it in place util you melt the edge tale to the underside of the carpet ant let it cool to bond. I have a 450 degree carpet tape bonder iron but a regular iron would work. Just don't move until it cools. It you don't position it properly, , just heat and pull to disassemble and reposition it properly. After it really cools, use a long needle nosed glue gun ($16 on Amazon) to run a small bead between the base of the serge and the base of the carpet. Ts melds them together and stops the fibers from coming loose and the backing edge strings from loosening as feet hit the edge.

The finished product looks wonderful. Our guests ask about the custom rug and are amazed that it is a DYI project!

Easy to instal but you do need a hot glue gun for adhesion. Looks great and protects carpets.

Very easy to use and very happy with my completed projects. Made three remnants from carpeting left over from home improvement.

very easy to install, has self backing tape to hold in place while you apply the hot glue. A small glue gun works best, all you need is a narrow line of glue to do the job.

Compared to having this professionally done, it was less than half the cost and it looks just as good.

great
