You don’t need to spend a lot of money on buying special carpet repair tools, such as a heat bond seaming iron, a carpet seam roller, or a carpet seam cutter, which you will most likely use just once or twice. Now, you do need to get carpet tape, but carpet tape is inexpensive to get in the first place, and the carpet tape that I use in the video doesn’t require a seaming iron.
Critical requirement for successful carpet repair: 1) Matching piece of carpet to use for the repair. Look inside your closet to see if it has the same carpet as the area you need to repair. 2) Great fit of the replacement carpet piece. a. You can’t have large gaps between the replacement carpet and the existing carpet, for obvious reasons. b. You can’t have any overlap between the replacement carpet and the existing carpet because any area of overlap will result in carpet that is not taped down because there’s carpet underneath carpet and not adhesive under carpet. (You can use glue gun to glue that part down although it won’t end up looking pretty.)
