🎥 TIMESTAMPS
1:00 Materials used for gluing and backing
3:45 METHOD 1: EASY
Pro’s
✅ Cheap, could use any backing fabric
✅ Rugs are malleable, easy to pack and ship
✅ Doesn't use spray adhesive
Con’s
🚫 Not as long lasting, fibers come out when pulled—not confident in longevity of products made using Roberts 3095 as primary adhesive

7:17 METHOD 2: SUPER DURABLE
Pro’s
✅ Solid, durable, long lasting, not going anywhere. Highly resistant to heavy foot traffic and years of use
✅ Also does not use spray adhesive
Con’s
🚫 Can’t get a great waterfall edge

11:12 METHOD 3: FINAL (and best in my opinion)
Pro’s
✅ Solid and durable because it uses AAT1132
✅ Doesn’t use spray adhesive
✅ Looks beautiful and clean, nice waterfall edge
✅ Uses less Roberts 3095
