carpet seaming weight

hi all;
Anyone know where i can get a carpet seaming weight from and the rough cost???
Cheers

 

rws on here do them, it will cost around 100 with vat........but worth it :smile:

 

If you're using a seam weight, keep your heat setting as low as possible, otherwise the weight can act like an iron, flattening the pile.

 

Have you considered the carpet seam clamps. They work a treat.

 

Currently these are not available they have been discontinued by our supplier I have asked an enginnering friend of mine to look into the cost of making them as the price was very high...Plent of seaming clamps though.

I've had mine for about 5 years , a bit expensive but it works a treat.

I use a housebrick in my metal heat seam iron box

 

We now have some stock available

hi to you all,
i found that a roll of flat LEAD does a treat!!

 

Wouldn't that cost more than a proper seaming weight!!

 

i made one from a peice of solid wood with holes drilled in it to allow the "steam" and heat to escape,rounded the edges with a router to make it easer to slide, some bits of plate steel 2 inches wide to act as weights. attached this to the bottom of box for seaming iorn and hay presto, seaming iorn box and weight combo.I have compered this for weight to the real thing and its with in grams of it.
An advantage of this is you have less thing to carry, toolbox in one hand,heatseamer/weight in the other.
those of you with 3 hand disregard this.

if i get a chance i will post a pic of this.

 

Mine is a weight from a lift,with a door kick plate gripfilled to it......works a treat

 

Until someone Nicks it.
