This is what I was looking for as I cannot find a carpet seam iron renter in Northern Ireland. Also love the pun (intended or not) "When you're in a jamb" ;)

Just the information I was looking for. Tysvm!

Answer is no. I installed carpet for 30 years and this was tried back in the early 70's when the seaming iron came out. The bottom is not grooved and doesn't leave as much glue behind as a Roberts seaming iron does. The seam is not as strong and will bust open when using a power stretcher, or even a knee kicker if its too close to the seam. Save your 10 bucks put it towards the right tool. You will go through 10 steam irons before you wear out a Roberts iron so what are you saving?

Dude, this video is Awesome! Lol. Looking forward to more 😊 I subscribed 👍🏻

Do a vid one on hammering the staples or nails at the seem or transition for the DIYer

What is the exact color of that carpet?I need to get a piece that same color.

Awesome dude... about to attempt this, my first time every joining seams.. If it doesn't work.. I'm holding you responsible 😂👍

Can you do it with a hear gun

I seen a guy on you tube do it but he put the iron on top of wet towel on top of the nap

I did Drywall (ya, I know, your gunna' say, "I'm sorry") and some carpeting; Anyway, got four carpet squares (thin commercial type) from the Dollar Tree, putting them together for computer chair on carpet, maybe I'll make a video and give you the credit bro... thanks!

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THANKS FGOR THIS

🤣

Only Doing a Small Patch Job.....Thanks!!....I Do Not Want to Spend Any More Money!!.....Took Some of the Worry Out IF it would Work!!

Never showed the finished product up close

I have a 12" seam to do, and an old iron. I think I'll save the HD $20 rental and try this.

Whats the big difference in using a clothes iron than a seam iron? If the clothes iron is beefy enough and has the wattage to melt the glue than whats the big deal? Yea theres steam holes but once those fill up with glue its just as flat a hot iron surface as a purpose seam iron.. ive actually seen clorhes irons have ratings larger than the100$ counterpart for carpet.. better than trying to use a butane torch..

Too quiet fella

I seen it all now

WHY !!!!

If you are that cheap, maybe you should not have any flooring, just leave it concrete or plywood. Wait until somehow you get some glue on your carpet and your old lady asks (as a Marlboro red, or a Camel non-filter is bouncing out of the corner of her mouth as she talks),” how’s that saving a few bucks working out for you now?”.
