Frayed Carpet Seam
Posted: Wed May 28, 2008 2:52 pm
I have a seam that's fraying in my carpet. The simple way to fix it would be to put down a carpet bar over the seam. But I really hate carpet bars in the middle of the floor. I have added some carpet seam glue, and that's helped slow down the fraying.
So I'm looking for options. I suppose I could try cutting out the bad seam, hope I can get some more stretch out of the carpet, and re-seam it. No matter what I do, I'm pretty much going to have to live with the fact that I'll always be able to see that seam. If there was some way of stopping the fraying without using a carpet bar, I'd be happy. Maybe I just need to use more seam glue! Or is there some kind of concoction that could be used instead of glue. Yep, I'm grasping at straws here.
