does anyone have any good ideas how to clean up the edges of cut carpet so those little demon pieces do not become a moop nightmare out there? I duct taped one piece, (there are about 8 more) but I'm thinking as I'm breaking my back doing this work that it wont last very long. and will make even more of a mess.
wax? time consuming and messy and will melt.
glue? same?
thoughts? what have you done?
thanks,
Madi, the playa choir director

We lay out our carpet pieces, vacuum whatever off of them, then use 4" duct tape on the edges. Then stomp. It's worked very well for us for awhile now.
A plan is what you vary from.

Yes, duct tape. A pain to put on, but works perfectly.
