59 carpet

[roger crabtree <rcrabshish@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try this, it is easier than buying an expensive
machine.  Cut an oversize piece of carpet from the
source.  Make sure that the pattern in the loops goes
the same direction.  Lay the piece over the part
needed to replace.  Cut the carpet to the same
dimensions by pulling the loop back and using the jute
for the pattern.  After this is done get carpet
seaming tape and use an iron to seam the new piece
into the existing carpet.  Again making sure the
pattern matches.  When done you can use a hot glue gun
to seal the top of the cuts, if needed. O-yeah Use the
hot iron from the back side of the carpet.  I have
used this on carpet burns from cigarettes in my
rentals. It works great. I would practise on junk
carpet first.
