It works ok as long as you run the tape strips about 4 of them the length or paralell with the long part of the rug. My rug was 3 ft by 20ft and it works very well. You don,t say how big your area rug is but the bigger it is the more tape strips you will to use about 6 to 8 inchs apart

Not sure. I used the tape to secure an area rug to hardwood floors. It worked great

Absolutely, I have 2 runner rugs that I taped down over carpet (very long rugs), very easy to do as is double sided and easy to work with. I have had it down now for over 2 months and as not slipped at all. It is in high traffic area. I love this stuff. I even used it to cover up gap in door for insulation.

Yes, I guess that is its best usage.It is perfect for rig on carpet. Also, I recently took it off and nothing was damaged, which is a great benefit too.

It probably will since it held my area rug in front of door so tightly that I could hardly pull the tape loose.

No! You must use very strong tape to hold the rugs in place. The tape that comes with the rugs are not strong enough they made the carpets move when we cam down the stairs. I went to Home Depot and purchased stronger tape

What we found worked best was double sided tape, placed on the seams of two pieces of the carpet holding both down at the same time. We have had no problems with it. Hope this helps :-).

I don't think the adhesive would stick to carpet. I would recommend running the wire to the edge of the carpet and tucking it in rather than having the wire mold. Maybe covering the wire with an area rug would work too.

There is adhesive on both. I guess it would depend on the length of the carpet.

As Jay C. Pohl said, "On a wooden subfloor." I would add that this stapler is lightweight and you would need to put significant pressure on the top so the staples shoot into the wood fully. Personally, I wouldn't recommend stapling down carpet. That's what tack-strips are for.

It's designed to work on non carpeted flooring. If the pile of the carpet is too thick it will not work well.

I wouldn't use the double-sided tape on carpet. It would probably cause damage. You could try looping masking tape to apply it to your floor, but if kids are running all over it it probably wouldn't last long.

I have used it for that application, but I did use it to remove a ballpoint pen my grandson draw all over my off-white leather recliner. It's worth a try because it won't discolor your carpet.

I think this would work. Of course it would still have a small lump, but it would only be truly noticeable if the rug was very thin. This was the flattest extension cord I could find when I was looking.

If you are speaking of the one for the transmission linage, yes, I would tell you before hand that you do have to go under the carpet and using a fish tape helps.

Without question it would work. Of course you want to make sure to clean the place to be patched, as much as possible. This tape is very sticky and very thick. You won't be disappointed.

I'd say it would work just fine as long as the carpet and pad aren't real thick. If so, then I'd suggest using something thicker and more rigid underneath.

I used this on my wood stairs and it worked very well. I'm not sure what would work on carpet.

I don't think it would do a very good job with carpet. The tip you use as a hot knife is very small. Not much longer than a thumbnail. It is good for small craft projects and a decent soldering iron, but not a tool for bigger household tasks.

I believe it will work for marine carpet as long as the carpet is thin enough that the two pieces of the snap that you are using the tool to crimp together, are long enough to go through the carpet. They come in two different lengths. The tool has great leverage. That won't be the problem. I made a boat cover out of Sunbrella material and used the tool to install all of the snaps. The tool doesn't have a long depth to the throat of it, so snaps can only be set in from the side an inch or less. You will need to punch a pilot hole with something.
