Pro tip: An old guy at the supply house in Boise taught me a seam trick

I was picking up a roll of 12-foot Berber last month and this installer, Frank, was watching me struggle with my seam roller. He walked over and said, 'Kid, heat the glue with a hair dryer for 30 seconds before you press. The seam disappears.' I tried it on the next job and it worked perfectly. Anyone else have little tricks like that for invisible seams?

That's a solid trick, works on vinyl too.

Yeah, just keep a microfiber cloth handy for dust.

Wait, I always thought microfiber was bad for dust?
