Found a trick for stretching seams on thick Berber without curl back
Been installing for about 8 years now. Always hated doing seams on the thick loop pile Berber, that stuff curls like crazy soon as you cut it. Tried everything, even had a couple callbacks where the seam opened up after a few months. Finally tried hitting the cut edges with a steam iron set on low before I glue and roll them. Just a quick pass, not enough to wet it, just softens the backing. Seams lay flat now and I haven't had a single curl back issue in over 6 months. Anyone else tried this or got a better way?

Ever tried using a seaming iron with a non-stick plate?

Bought one from an Asian market last year. Non-stick plate was garbage. Scratched up in three uses. Went back to standard metal plate.
