Location: With my son on the water | Another tip is after you apply the cement, lay multiple wooden strips (that don't have adhesive on them) on top of the cement. You then lay your carpet on top of the wooden strips. The strips provide a space and don't allow the carpet to make contact with the cement. Then work from the edge and press the carpet into place. Work toward a strip and eventually you will have to pull the strip out and then work toward the next one. You may want to do a practice run without the cement first to get the hang of it.
But the contact cement works well.
Good luck and have a good day. |
