That carpet seam peaking trick I always ignored actually works

I had a job last week in a living room where every seam was popping up after just a few days. I tried using more glue, less glue, different rollers, nothing fixed it. Out of desperation I tried what an old timer told me about leaving the seams weighted with a board for 4 hours before trimming. It actually flattened everything out perfectly. Has anyone else had luck with that method or do you do something different?

Funny how the simplest fixes are the ones we ignore until we're desperate.

Simple fixes we ignore" - My buddy swore by that trick after ruining three seams.
