What happens in this clip
Once the damaged area is exposed, a bottle containing adhesive, likely a carpet repair glue or a strong contact cement, is used to apply the product. The adhesive is generously squeezed onto the exposed underside of the carpet backing that will make contact with the stair. Simultaneously, it is also applied directly to the stair nosing surface where the carpet is meant to adhere. This dual application ensures maximum bonding strength between the carpet and the stair.
Goal: Apply a suitable carpet adhesive to both the exposed carpet backing and the stair nosing to create a strong bond.
