Do-it-yourself Carpet and Area Rug Binding (22 Colors Available) - Quantity 1 = 5 Foot Section, Crimson

We had a very large carpet remnant leftover when we moved into a new lake house. I wanted to use it in a kids bunk room but didn’t want to schlep it to an upholsterer to have it bound. This edging worked great and looks professional. It’s one of the few projects ever that was easier than expected. Lots of colors to choose from—ours matched perfectly—and it was exactly the length I ordered. The adhesive is such that you can move around/adjust it while putting it on but gets permanent over time. Can you tell I LOVE this product! Congratulations on whoever developed this! (Note: Definitely use a fine tipped glue gun. Makes finishing much easier.)

🌟🌟This is at least 10 star-worthy!! 🌟🌟This product was not only easy to use but looks amazing! We finished off a rug that was 12’ x 25’ for our new church fellowship hall. We were a little nervous because we had never done this before. We are SO happy with how easy it was to add to the rug (which was pretty big!) and even more thrilled with how it looks! We did the whole thing in a couple of hours, including the glue with the glue gun. It really looks like a professional did it. Highly recommend - 💯💯💯

Used this carpet to finish off the inside of a cargo van, very good quality and easy to work with.

The media could not be loaded.  2nd UPDATE: It is May of 2023 and my diy stair treads using instabind look as good as the day I made and installed them! I’m so glad I did it. I thought for sure I did something wrong somewhere and binding would start to come off. It has NOT! 1 year later and still going strong! If you’re a diy person, do it! You won’t regret it!UPDATE: I must say that it is Sept 2022 and I’m so glad I tried this project! The pressure sensitive adhesive worked perfectly!!! The binding is still in place and I have 2 rambunctious labradoodles running up and down the stairs. I wish I took a before picture. But I love the runner I chose to make the treads out of. I tried to number the pieces as I cut them so when I stapled them to the stair treads it had the same pattern as the runner. If you’re thinking of attempting this do it!! It’s worth it especially if you can’t find pre made carpet treads you like. But it did take me a few days. It also took me a few weeks to het the plan in my head on how I was going to do it and to get up the courage to just do it. I added a pic of the finished project.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I purchased the instabind in March of 21, I am just now using it in March of 22. I came back to see if others were complaining about it not being very sticky and to try to find out if maybe I waited too long to use it. Or maybe in time it’s less sticky. That is my experience this very moment. But I did read that it’s pressure sensitive. So only time will tell. It was very easy to use. For me, the hardest part is cutting the binding off a runner that I want to make stair treads out of. The instabind is very simple to use. One review complained about having to use so much hot glue, but you’re supposed to only use a small glue gun and mini glue sticks. You only need a narrow bead. I think that reviewer may have just been having a rough day. It works exactly like it shows in the you tube video. Ok gotta go… I’ve done 2 treads, have 12 more to go!

Easy to install has a quality look to it. I watched a video On how to apply the edging and it worked very well. Looks like a professional job.

Poor quality adhesive. The color is perfect. Easy to install.

easy to work with, seems to hold well and i'm probably going to order more of the same

Great idea and very easy to use. Turned my carpet remnants and old area rugs into great looking finished area rugs.
