## Description

Regular Style Instabind is a great DIY project for anyone looking to bind carpet edging or repair damaged rugs. Easy to use and less costly then traditional binding Instabind will give you a clean look without visible stitching. Find a great color match or the perfect accent color to match any decor. Item is sold in 5 foot increments and will be shipped on one continuous roll. If you order 4 units (20 feet) you will receive one roll that is 20 feet long. Items you will need for installation: instruction sheet (comes with your order), not included be necessary are heavy duty scissors, hot melt glue gun and glue. Be sure to watch the how to video on this page for more information.

## Features

- Regular style Instabind is an easy to use DIY binding that is perfect for binding carpet edges in your home. This is perfect for the homeowner wanting to get a professional looking bound rug without the high prices of sending it out to a professional. Instabind will give you a professional look without the visible stitching that can detract from the overall appeal of a professionally bound rug.
- Find a color that will add a great accent to your rug and really make it pop. Shows up best on low to medium pile carpet but can be used on most any carpet/rug. All monitors show colors differently so email us for a color swatch to find a good match.
- This product is made here in the USA out of a synthetic polyester material with a repositionable, heavy duty tape to hold the Instabind to the back of the carpet. The tape can be easy repositioned at first but once the installation is complete and the rug is laid in place the tape will begin to adhere more/harder as time passes insuring a long lasting and secure bond.
- We sell Instabind in 5 foot sections up to the total amount you need to bind your carpet scraps or rug. To get the correct amount simply add up the total feet all around the item to be bound. A 3 x 6 rug would require you to order a quantity of 4. How? The rug measures 3 + 3 + 6 + 6 = 18 total feet you would need a total of 4 five foot sections. When you order 4 units (20 feet) this will come in one continuous roll.
- Instabind is user-friendly and perfect for the DIYer to do. Each shipment comes with basic written instructions and a QR code to watch the "how to" video before you start. The items not included but needed for installation are heavy duty scissors, hot melt glue gun (even a small craft glue gun will work) and hot melt glue.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Product
*by I***G on October 27, 2024*

I was skeptical about this product. Sounded too good to be true.But I had a beautiful wool rug that the entire edge was frayed and the binding coming off the entire thing. I had tried to hot glue it back at one point …didn’t work well.The rug was in its way to the dump🥺I took a chance and ordered this and SO So happy I did.The binding came in a roll..you peel the backing off.I had More than enough to do this good sized round rug. The color is exactly as shown. The directions are spot on.Super easy to apply - even for me (the most UNhandy person in the world).This is a Quality product. My poor rug now looks brand new! It looks like a professional job as well!It fit snugly right up to the edge of the carpet (weird last photo)I love this product so much I wish I had more things to use it on!Recommend - HECK YEAH !!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ UPDATE: Great Product!
*by G***L on March 28, 2022*

The media could not be loaded. 2nd UPDATE: It is May of 2023 and my diy stair treads using instabind look as good as the day I made and installed them! I’m so glad I did it. I thought for sure I did something wrong somewhere and binding would start to come off. It has NOT! 1 year later and still going strong! If you’re a diy person, do it! You won’t regret it!UPDATE: I must say that it is Sept 2022 and I’m so glad I tried this project! The pressure sensitive adhesive worked perfectly!!! The binding is still in place and I have 2 rambunctious labradoodles running up and down the stairs. I wish I took a before picture. But I love the runner I chose to make the treads out of. I tried to number the pieces as I cut them so when I stapled them to the stair treads it had the same pattern as the runner. If you’re thinking of attempting this do it!! It’s worth it especially if you can’t find pre made carpet treads you like. But it did take me a few days. It also took me a few weeks to het the plan in my head on how I was going to do it and to get up the courage to just do it. I added a pic of the finished project.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I purchased the instabind in March of 21, I am just now using it in March of 22. I came back to see if others were complaining about it not being very sticky and to try to find out if maybe I waited too long to use it. Or maybe in time it’s less sticky. That is my experience this very moment. But I did read that it’s pressure sensitive. So only time will tell. It was very easy to use. For me, the hardest part is cutting the binding off a runner that I want to make stair treads out of. The instabind is very simple to use. One review complained about having to use so much hot glue, but you’re supposed to only use a small glue gun and mini glue sticks. You only need a narrow bead. I think that reviewer may have just been having a rough day. It works exactly like it shows in the you tube video. Ok gotta go… I’ve done 2 treads, have 12 more to go!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy with the end result and customer service!
*by K***Y on January 13, 2025*

Seller is VERY responsive and consultative. Great product too.If you’re looking to save a significant amount of money on a durable rug while still achieving a professional look, this method is for you! By using this product to finish off carpet remnants from your local carpet store, you can create a custom rug that fits your space perfectly.For example, this 12x12 carpet remnant was just sitting at a hardware store, and I could tell it had the potential to transform my room. I used this product to secure the rough edges and give it a polished, finished appearance. The result speaks for itself!I had previously been shopping for 9x12 rugs, with prices ranging from $700 to $900 due to the materials and durability I needed. By opting for this method, I saved a significant amount—finishing this 12x12 rug only cost me around $100. If you follow the product instructions closely, the result will look incredibly professional and last for years to come.
