Remember to read the directions on the glue cans FIRST. I think for the 3m You want to spray both the carpet and the box, letting them both tack up before you apply the carpet... I think that how the 3m works, but cant remember completely, that why I'd read the can first.... :happy055:

Put the seem towards the bottom, and use new blades and a straight edge for good clean cuts...

Heres another link for carpeting... I havent done this one yet, but it seems like it would work really well.... :happy055:

sometimes a single edge blade like jonnyb mentioned works better than a utility knife. you should get some, they are way sharper than utility blades.

Thanks man, I'm going to have to get some replacements for my utility knife.

a few tips though:
take your time. when you go to cut something, look at it like 5 times to be sure it is going to look good. also get a pack of those 100 single edge razor blades, and use a new one if you think one is getting dull. the sharper the blade, the better the cut.
