I forgot to post how I did my carpeting. Initially, I had trouble with getting too much bulk in the corners and the quality looked like crap. So, frustrated I tried to find any tips on my phone and found this website (
https://www.techguys.ca/howto/carpeting.html.) This is the one that really made me see the light. So anyways here are the pics of my process, I hope this helps anyone.
I wanted the carpet to be straight and neat on the underside so I used a couple pieces of stainless cut down to 2 inches wide to give me the extra to wrap around. The small piece proved exceptionally helpful on the curvier pieces.
I would mark the piece as well to let me know accurately where to place the piece after I had finished putting the adhesive on.
After placing the piece onto the carpet I would work from the middle towards the corners until the carpet was loose on the corners and looked like this.
I would then grasp each end of the "ear" and pull the carpet up and onto the bottom of the piece. I would press it down flat and get a flap on each side.I would work each inside of the flap towards each other, making sure I was pressing the carpet down as I did so.
I would then use a roller to really work the corner down until i would get a neat square, letting me know that the carpet was tight and down on the corner.
Here's were I sort of deviated from the website I linked. I forgot to take a picture so bear with me. I would lift the flats up vertically and my cut parallel to the piece. Sort of holding my knife flat on the piece and cutting the flaps off. This would be my result.
I would then put in a few staples in with the gun where the seams met. Generally, this method allowed tight corners with minimal bulk and an underside that looked straight and even. Hope this helps.
