Thanks for that lads. As always very entertaining and informative too !!

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks for the feedback ✊🏽 Have a good day bro

[@milehigh3054]

Best video I've seen. Thanks. Gonna do it this way.

[@michealbiagioni7860]

Don't understand how you can avoid laying the joint on underlay as you suggest we should (you said we should lay it on hardboard instead) Surely all carpets are laid on underlay these days?

[@kathy9853]

Thanks for the great vid guys. I'm diy'ing carpets for the first time and was wondering if I can use this method to join the carpet in the thresholds instead of using door bars as I want a seamless look. I'm using the same carpet throughout. Is this a bad idea? Do you have to have door bars? Thanks :)

[@CryptoAzhole]

Nevwr used a row finder. Always just a straight edge and a knife. I like that method though, gonna look for those tools and try em

[@choski76]

Great job. From new jersey usa

[@samfringle916]

Sick! Didn’t even know this was a thing. Thanks guys!

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks Sam 😁😁

[@IbbyKS]

Cant find the tape on the Amazon link, what do you think is the best tape to get in the UK a along seam ? cheers

[@julianlyons711]

Good vids

[@justinwacker4373]

Hey guys, very informative video. Thank you. When doing a full seam across a room though and your carpet sticks up on either side toward the wall how do you start and finish? Would you drag the carpet to one side of the room, to get the other side flat, do half or 3/4, let it dry, and the drag it back the other way to finish?

Very nice !

That easy huh. Gonna save me 400 in carpet installation. But should I use high traffic or low traffic seam tape??

[@ChrisSmith-qk6hd]

Sick

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks ✊🏽

[@donegal2010able]

Can I just use a small travel iron instead of that expensive carpet iron? , I've a long hall need 3 joins and does the iron go directly on the joining tape? Great video by the way.

[@homeimprovements]

Not sure about that these are very specific to seaming tape with raised ridges

[@bdzhvlxndr]

guys tell me. where can I buy such a carpet knife with delivery to another country??

[@lowell8527]

I don't trust myself not to totally screw this up. If I wanted to hire someone who can do this, what would I search? Like what are you called 'carpet seamers'? Thanks again great vid!

[@bgt63]

Could you not flip over the carpet and find the row, rhenbuse a straight edge?

[@ell6826]

Yeah but you have to make sure when you cut it you cut perfect with a loop pile cutter it’s got the angle for you already

[@jimbo2167]

ok guys im gonna go the american route and try this for a join or 2, should ye go against the pile with the row finder or????

[@homeimprovements]

I tend to go with the pile 😊👌🏼

[@jimbo2167]

@@homeimprovements Had plenty spare for a join today and gave it a go, nervous as f@#* but gave it a go and worked well, still be keeping the straight edge as back up 🤣

[@waylonfeenstra8882]

I go both ways but find with the plie to leave the best track.. some work best with an small knit needle some best thick , a flathead screwdriver , maybe a philips .. a pen , and it's critical that your usen the correct side of the cutter when cutting as it will backcut the backing.. if done wrong it will leave both sides a cunthair long .. the backs touch , leaven a gap in the pile

[@bdzhvlxndr]

I really need this knife, I bought it a long time ago, but I can’t find it anywhere in stores. tell me where to buy it? 00:42

[@bdzhvlxndr]

man just give me a link where i can buy this shit

My anxiety was wondering where the weight was!

[@beastmoode2441]

Also forgot to mention, going with the grain! Not against!

[@mikeon_ps9811]

So much information not explained here. 1st make sure you're rowing with the carpet. Make sure that the carpet lays flat the way you're rowing. 2nd on row cutters there's two blades on each side, and which side of your carpet is going to get seamed is the side you want you're blade. Also make sure your seaming iron has glue on it to begin with. If needed get a piece about 1 foot long and run your iron on that before doing your seam. Low heat and go slow. It's definitely a diy if you're careful
