Carpet Install Tips?
Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2012 1:38 am
Soon I'll have the floors welded back in the Nova, and I plan to install carpet to finish things off.
I have a bulk roll of lightweight loop pile carpet that I'll cut to fit.
Any tips on forming the carpet to the floor/tubs?
I would like to keep the number of seams to a minimum to keep it clean.
I haven't started measuring or test fitting yet, just brainstorming.
The biggest question I have so far is forming a section of carpet to each tub to cover the face and the vertical panel in one piece if possible. I plan to recruit my wife for some seam sewing, she just doesn't know it yet!
Any recommendations on adhesive? I'd like to use something with a little working time so I can adjust/stretch the carpet.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
