Finally got my seam lines to disappear on a tricky Berber job
For ages, my seams on loop pile carpets like Berber were always a bit visible, no matter how careful I was with the iron. About six months back, an installer in Tacoma showed me his trick: he preps the seam edges with a light mist of water from a spray bottle before taping. I tried it on a job last week with some leftover Orian sample. The fibers relaxed just enough for the adhesive to grab them fully, and the line vanished. Anyone else use a similar trick for those stubborn loop piles?

Doesn't the water risk causing mold in the backing later on?

Mold in the backing" sounds like a future me problem. Right now I'm just trying to get this thing clean. I'll worry about the science project later.

How long does it take for mold to grow?
