Instabind Carpet Binding - Regular Style, Rug Binding, Ideal for Area Rugs, Durable Hold, DIY Carpet Finishing Edge - Black, 54 ft Rolls

Did the job

Work as described, very simple to install. Hot glueing short pile carpet a little more difficult then long pile carpet.

This works well. Based on other reviews, I put double sided sticky carpet tape over the less sticky adhesive on the binding itself and used that to stick it to the rug. Easy to install. Main thing is use moderate amount of hot glue to stick the binding to your rug. I had a few spots where my glue showed. I covered all flaws with a permanent magic marker the color of the rug and binding (black). It looks like a new rug and was fraying significantly in multiple areas. Take your time waiting on the hot glue to set. I used a piece of 2x4 lumber scrap to hold pressure on it while drying. Do about 12-16 inches at a time. Great product!

Producto que cumple con mis expectativas de buena calidad

This binding is put together absolutely horrible. The adhesive strip isn't tacky enough to hold to the carpet. I had to use 777 spray adhesive. Then, the edge that's supposed to attach at the carpet edge isn't heat sealed or glued down. So, you have to glue that, plus, add more glue to bind carpet edge and binding. To top it off, you pay for 54' and I received 51'.6". Which in the upholstery world, might as well be a yard.
