Is this tape ok for a throw rug on a carpet floor...will it stick to carpet ok?

I don't know. We used it for carpet pads on hardwood stairs. I would worry that if you pulled up the throw rug it might pull up more fabric/carpet fibers from the rug.

shouldn't leave residue unless its on left on for a while, meaning a few days or more. as for lifting it, depends on how well the carpet is put down, how long the tape is on, if its walked on, ect. this is pretty much true for any tape

This tape worked well for carpet to wood floor. I don't know if it would hold plastic mat to carpet but it's worth a try.

From my experience I would not advise these for carpet. The adhesive never really sets so the pads can shift, exposing the carpet to potential damage.

Probably depends on the carpet. The tape works really well in my office but the carpet I am sticking it to is commercial low pile carpet. The rug I am holding down is wool as well.

I have mine on tile and running under furniture, but I see no reason it won't work on carpet or under a rug. After installation, this wire way lays really flat even without the tape

I'm not sure about material to material sticking but I have used double sided duck tape for rugs to do that with and that works great

Have only tried it on furs and works well. As to carpets generally, I would think if it were synthetic you should be fine just blot and do not rub. If it is a throw rug best to have a cotton backing to help with the absorb any debris. On high quality wool make sure to test in a small area for colorfastness. The chemical generally is safe on wool and silks and evaporates similar to alcohol based chemicals. There are also tons of Youtube videos to assist with its various applications.

I would use double sided carpet tape instead of glue. No drying time, instant results, no mess.

I think this tape is strong but you would need to change it pretty often to maintain the strong grip. I use it on hard surfaces and yes it leaves residue, but I'm not sure what would happen on a carpet surface. There's however, never residue on the bottom side of the rug. I hope this helps you.

In my opinion, you will want a larger piece, OR you will want to cut multiple strips.. this tape isn't very wide. It will keep the carpet tacked down in place, but the first time someone kicks up a corner, it will definitely come loose. The adhesive just isn't that strong... it may stick pretty good on your (clean) hard wood, but it won't stick that well to the underside of the carpet. If you want to use velcro for this job, you'll want larger pieces of velcro, ideally with a much more durable glue. Several projects I have accomplished with this tape have failed... and I even hot glue gunned the velcro to one of my pieces. That's my experience... good luck. Mark

Yes the mat will stick well to the floor, it's not sticky on top, but with multiple uses, once it is broken in it will develop traction:)

Just threw it on the floor to see ... in my opinion, it looks like a throw on the floor. It wont stay flat unless no one walks on it. Perhaps if you put a different backing on it suitable for rugs?

I have it out in my garage on outdoor carpet, and it doesn't slip at all. Hope this helps

I don't specifically know because I don't have any but you could use the floor attachment that doesn't have a beater bar on those rugs. I have tried that on just my throw rugs and it seems to do fine without bunching the rug up.

I roll mine over medium thickness carpet and rugs no prob. A little rickety at first but I put epoxy all over the fittings.

Depends how heavy the carpet is per unit area. It works initially but loses the grip after a while. For heavy carpets that happens fast. I hope I can find better option.
