Can you fix a patch of carpet.

Apply carpet adhesive to the fabric and to the carpet edges that surround the hole you cut out. Use the utility knife to lift the edges of the seam or rip. Properly planned and executed. If carpet tape is not doing the job you can also use carpet glue to hold the patch in position.

Carpet patching is a simple system of carefully cutting out the damaged area and replacing it with a patch of donor carpet of the same size. Because the donor area is filled in either with a piece of remnant carpet or is left unrepaired carpet patching is considered to be imperfect but a net overall improvement. If those fraying discoloring factors have concentrated in one particular section of your carpet you can patch the installation rather than replace the entire thing. Orient the patch so the grain of the carpet runs the same direction as the installed carpet then.

Hold the patch in place for a little while. Place your patch to fill the hole the way that the patch s fibers follow the direction of the rest carpeting fibers. A line or 2 of glue on the surface of the carpet pad will often be sufficient. Remove the old carpet tape from under both sides of the seam or rip.

Apply some carpet adhesive onto the patch requiring floor. Use the utility knife if you need to cut the old tape at the end of the seam.
