Instabind Carpet Binding - Regular Style, Rug Binding, Ideal for Area Rugs, Durable Hold, DIY Carpet Finishing Edge - Ice, 54 ft Rolls

Very good experience, easy to use!

Easy to use and after a year of heavy use adhesive has no signs of failing

Like many other reviewers stated, the adhesive that comes on the binding is not strong enough to be permanent. It held it long enough to keep it in place until I could peel it back and use a glue gun. That might be a blessing in disguise because mistakes can be corrected. I applied the binding with the whole carpet flipped upside down. I was using this on a very thick shaggy carpet and it was easier to see what I was doing with the plush side down. After I flipped it right side up, I again went around the whole rug and pushed the carpet strands back from the cording and put a line of glue in the space then pushed the binding up against the carpet. It turned out beautifully. Looks professional. I would hesitate to use on a very low pile or thin rug. I’m sure the fluffiness hid any errors on my part!

We purchased this binding to attempt to make a rug out of a large piece of carpeting left over from our family room install. It was incredibly easy to do and the results are beautiful and look like it was done by a professional. It took us maybe 1 1/2 hours for the whole thing which was about 10 x 12 piece. We even had enough edging left over to do a small rug for the front door. I would definitely do this again.

I was a little intimidated at first, but followed the YouTube directions and it came out great! Definitely recommend.
