ABSTRACT:
A novel carpet seaming tape and method for use in glue down carpet installations is provided. A carpet seaming tape having a paper carrier with a hot melt adhesive on its top surface and a pressure sensitive adhesive on its bottom surface is aligned beneath the abutting edges of two pieces of carpeting to be seamed, with the hot melt adhesive on top. The tape is attached to the floor using the pressure sensitive adhesive, the carpet pieces are removed and the floor is coated with general purpose adhesive everywhere except in those areas where the seaming tape has been attached. The carpet is replaced and realigned, and seaming is completed by using a seaming iron to melt the hot melt adhesive and pushing the edges of the carpeting pieces into the molten adhesive atop the carpet seaming tape so that the edges of the carpet closely abut each other.
