I have a small run of wall-to-wall carpet that I want to join along a seam in a hallway -- maybe 3 feet across.
I purchased some carpet heat bond tape at the Borg. Can I use an old clothes iron to activate the teap and make the seam or do I need to rent a real seaming iron?
If so, how do I use the iron properly? - What setting? - How do I heat the tape?
- How much time do I have after heating the tape to position it before it hardens?
Will this make a big mess and ruin the iron?
