How wide of cloth should I lay on the carpet when I am spray painting the wall? I am scared that the paint particles get bounced onto the carpet.

Honestly I would cover everything you don't want paint on. I painted a finished basement walls and ceiling before putting in carpet. Room filled with mist with a watery primer. Less so with paint but still came out several feet into room.

You most certainly do not want to spray paint from this device or any professional sprayer without covering EVERYTHING in the room. Yes, you should worry about over spray and paint particles especially if you are not a pro. If you can't cover EVERYTHING in the room (including the floor) I would recommend that you use a roller. I used this for the initial primer on all four walls and the ceiling with ZERO furniture in the room and the floor entirely covered in tarp. I then used the sprayer for only the ceiling and then switched to a roller for the walls to avoid over spray and particles on the finished surfaces.

I would cover everything in the room that you don't want paint on. All carpet/flooring, all windows, all furniture etc. There will be a lot of atomized paint in the air that will settle everywhere including your lungs and eyes, nasal passages and airway. Be sure to protect yourself as well as your stuff. Wear a respirator and eye protection...

Be sure to place the tape as close to the edge of the rug as possible. That way, the edges lay very flat with no risk of tripping. There is no residue left on the carpet at all. Hope this helps.

Yep, the came off my painted walls just fine. I would make sure to try to do it when you have some extra sets of hands around. Just pull it off slowly and evenly though, otherwise the vinyl will stretch.

I called them when delivered months ago ,explaining it was meant to lay atop a low, tight, burnt sienna pile. They said no problem and there hasn't been. You might call the manufacturer to insure your carpet is OK. Take care.

Haven't had any problems. I didn't have to attach it to the wall and it sits just fine on the carpet. I still can't believe how nice it is for the price.

Ok on carpet. But not like on hard surfaces. Stay centered and be careful with turns. I did ok once I got used to it on all surfaces. MK

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.

Hello Irtafa,The type of foam you should use and recommended thickness will depend upon what you're spraying to. What type of area do you need to spray? It may be easiest for me to help over the phone. If you get a chance, please give us a call at 800-516-0949 so we can help you get your project underway. Thanks! LindaFoam It Green

I have used this product several times and have never had a problem with droplets... Just used it yesterday on an expensive, new custom bed comforter... Shake it up prior to using and spray it about 12 inches away... We have used it on carpet, seat cushions and other things and have found it to be completely safe (for the fabric) and easy to use... If your sprayer is defective and will not spray, then that may be another issue... I don't think an occasional droplet or two, if you are experiencing that, will damage anything and do not believe you will notice it.

I would be very careful and test it and dilute it before actually applying it to the carpet . Test it on a a pillow Casd until u get the right shade dilute with watet

Depends on the fabric, but on my carpet I have had no issues. It states in the instructions how much to use and how to apply to area that is out of sight to check on whether it can be used or not. Plus it does a bag up job if your able to use it.

I sprayed about a 1,000 sq ft of carpet and a 42' RV and still have a little over a 1/2 a bottle left. As stated on the bottle, it is better to spray the carpet right after cleaning when damp instead of waiting for the carpet to dry. It will require more treatment if carpet is dry. Product is great and will buy more when I use the rest of the bottle.

I used this as a carpet on a truck that didn't come with any fabric or heat shield. I put the foil side toward the heat source and the fabric side toward me. As far as spray adhesive, if you want a really custom form fitting install, this may be difficult because the fabric didn't mold well for me around detailed shapes and curves. If your install is mostly straight and 90 degree corners then I would imagine you could use adhesive to keep it against the metal of the vehicle. I personally did not, I'm using it more like a mat that I can remove if dirt or debris collects under the heat resistant foil side.

I would wait for the carpet to dry completely. The carpet might be 'crunchy' if you apply while it's wet.

I have mine on a 1/2 Inch thick rubber mat and it is fine. The problem I have with the unit is that it sways and wobbles a bit so I secured mine to the wall studs with some sturdy hardware and brackets. It would sway on cement as well before I set the rubber mat under it. The only problem I see is that your carpet would be crushed where it sits (it has 4 rubber feet) when you decide to move it.

I didnt find that to be a problem. I had it on my area rug. , however, my area rug is a darker color.

Hey Michelle - Fabric (furniture), carpet or wood? For our couch cushions I actually used a syringe and injected the icky poo into the cushion--it was practically dripping with product...then let the cushion air dry for 3 days, as well as the cushion cover...
