Hi everyone.
I need to find a carpet repair tape to go behind a tear.
The carpet is actually in a vehicle and is on a vertical face, so the repair will have to resist the effects of gravity pulling the heavy carpet down. As such I don't think a traditional carpet seaming tape will do the job and I would be more comfortable with a tape that is initially glued but also sewn all the way through the carpet and the repair tape. Its going to need to be a very heavy duty repair - but is slightly out of sight.
Can anyone suggest a solution? - I am very tempted to order some nice wide jute tape like this and glue it on the back of the tear with a heavy adhesive like this bostik stuff. Then, as I only ever want to do this once, I could sew right through the carpet and through the jute tape with my speedy stitcher.
Is there an easier way or a better product I haven't considered? Replacement isn't an option as its a pre-moulded piece of carpet and foam and the cost is extortionate.
