I need an opinion

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

Got a very nice 4' x 7' Navajo pattern rug and would like to know which of the hundreds of carpet tapes will work the best on a resilient vinyl floor.

 

This IS NOT a genuine collectable rug, but it sure looks good in my living room.

@Forty Rod SASS 3935,

    Try these. 

AMAZON carries them.

That was my first thought also, but I could not for the life of me think of what it was called. Makes it difficult to look something up when you don't know the name of it.

I just GOOGLE'd "rug thingy that holds rugs down!"

They work sorta OK if you don't have critters running around or pulling them.

When the Big Dogs get running around the house, they can move a large oriental rug on top of one of these with the dining room table on that.  Fine for people or small dogs.

One Rottweiler and two cats do an amazing job of rearranging even with heavy furniture and the carpet thingy!

Those rugs thingys work somewhat ok. We have tried using them for years. Like rip snorter said, if you have animals, maybe not so much. We spend a lot of time picking up the carpet and pulling them straight again, after awhile even the vacuum cleaner messes them up. We’ve removed most of them in high traffic areas, they just don’t work well. As for the solution, haven’t found a good one yet. I’ll be watching this post for a better idea

The Missus got some sort of sticky carpet thingys once, they worked once, then the sticky gets useless do to animal hair and dust. If you don't want the carpet to move, get wall to wall. 

[Rip Snorter]

If the carpet can be "permanent" there is some super carpet tape we used for woven stair tread covers.  Those are dog proof.

well, tyou have asked one of the most opinionated groups on the planet.

[Smuteye John SASS#24774]

I don't believe it.

 

Forty's account has been hacked!

 

In all the years he's been on the WIRE, when has he ever NOT had an opinion to spare and was always willing to share it?

Screws and washers!  Nails might split a floor board.

Since I broke my back I've become VERY conscious (and cautious) about walking and this great looking rug keeps trying to trip me up and kill me.

 

I'd Gorilla glue it down if I thought it would work.

 

And JFWIW, I'm NOT opinionated.  I'm just uncommonly right about nearly everything, nearly all the time.

 ..... well, Uncle 40, ...... I have a very high opinion of you .......

I would never say you're opinionated, Forty.

 

I just said you had a wealth of opinions and a generous, giving nature.
