Yep, #1 rule of carpet install is to keep it all the same direction, I should have mentioned that. I don't plan on removing my console, the carpet will tuck under the edges, and wrap around it. A red rosin paper pattern can be made first of your layout....then laid over the top of the carpet and drycut first, leaving a little extra for trimming, if that helps. (I plan on doing this) Then place your carpet in position on the deck, and fold back one half at a time, applying your adhesive to the floor, completely to the edges. If you only do one half of each section at a time, it will allow you to anchor that carpet piece in perfect position for final trimming. I don't like the idea of contact cement....waterproof capet adhesive will allow you to half/half each piece easier.
And yes, I'm going to remove the screws and floor panels first....following the way it was done at the factory....with alot of thought first.  |
