Selvedge

What about ****ty loop pile Berber especially the felt back crap? And of course versais berber where the gripper sorry smooth edge pulls the loop out of the pile on the riser over time.

 

fortunately I dont really fit that much cheap stuff but would still use a concave blade

 

same for me too

 

I've never even seen a concave blade, let alone used one.

 

You're in for a treat then if you get that job mate

 

Neither had I mate until I worked for a shop that done mostly Amtico, I didn't think carpet fitters used them!

 

The school job you mean?
Got it, doing it Wed morn.

 

Been using them for 30 years

 

well done, did you want me then..

 

It's just an office up the wall with capping, you're welcome to come along if you've nothing else to do and you don't want payinglol

Be good to put a face to the name as long as you're not too ugly

 

pm me the details mate and i'll see you on wednesday for a giggle

 

You're on, check your inbox (ooh err)

 

Mario, have you got it?
I've sent it twice but there's no indication that it's reached you?

 

surely, you don,t want puckers in the join do you?

 

Have you had any other enquiries for capping carpets then sidnee?

 

No, never Al.
And what are you doing out of bed at this time of the morning?
I hope you're not waking up all the other inmates?

 

I tend to use a hook blade for this , I find a Stanley hook to be the best, they do cost twice as much as others but last a lot longer .
if that fails always Row runner and join cutter , I always cut into selvedges if the carpet or patten allows ,

 

i had an earl start a stairs and landing around my local garage.

 

i use concave blade free hand following white lines then seal with ankeweld
