Quick question ...why didn't you just put a tile on top of the row and use another tile to scribe in the cut simple,fast and effective without the need to measure or use a pen

This is ridiculously long when you can just use another carpet tile to measure

Very useful video. Thanks Aidan. Is it okay to do these complicated cut outs once the adhesive is tacky? I've got a few to do and, as it's my first time, I will most likely take a while to do each one. Just wondering how much time I've got?!

It stays tacky while clean, i've left it over a weekend and come back Monday morning and its tacky and ok to continue. Also i've just pulled up some carpet tiles that have been in place for 3 years and its still tacky. More important is to wait for the glue to dry tacky and don't put it down too soon while wet. then its just too hard to pull the tiles up in the future.

there is even easier way without pen but you'd have to remember to turn the one gonna cut cos it would go against wall

Sliding the tile to the short and long intersection and marking each point works.

Great video, only thing you forgot was the pattern on the front side don't line up with what you already laid. The amount of times I've made that mistake. :(

Just put the tile in place and tight cut the damn thing! Should’ve taken you 20 seconds or less😂😂

Easiest method..... Line up the tile on top of the one you're kneeling on right now. Toss another in the space you want to fill...it will overlap the one you lined up. Use your knife and follow the edge. Hook blade knifes work amazing by the way and you now a perfectly fit tile. Take out your scribe piece and install your fitted tile. You can also use this method for every cut around corners or door jambs. Your welcome!

Id have fitted the corridor in the time you took to cut one tile . Back Mark it and cut no need for a pen ... seeing most carpet tiles have black backing.

Good improvement on the method. For the video i had only cushion back tiles to work with so you can't see the cut with the knife only too well. Hopefully the feedback helps a few people improve. If you can do it fast great go make a video of it and share.

That was way to much time and work for one tile .. I could cut that in 10 seconds without measuring anything
