Seamer Down Now & Kool Glide Training with Mystery Host

[DJ]

Sean Moore said I just never bought a smooth roller because when they told me (what, 15 years ago?) that star rollers would mess up cut pile carpet but I could just use my fingers I learned how to do it like that. I don't use a tray/weight/etc, I kneel on a piece of very clear maple plywood. My seams were weak when I weighed 185 but now at 210lbs they are very strong! very interested in the SDN tho, and if a flat roller makes that work better then they can go along as a set.

the sdn is worth it i'm here to tellya, also i think it was the 3rd-4th video daris posted that has the sideway thing

[Steve Olson]

.he's a talker...

can't take nothing away from the man, he knows his stuff.

[kylenelson]

So, once again I have to go back to my thermosealing question. Are you just putting a tiny little bead on?

[rusty baker]

Looks like he is Kyle, as fast as he is moving the glue gun. I've never found one that will put out glue that fast.

No kidding, he whips down those things.

my orcon glue gun did it ran waay hot went through 3 of um now i'm using a crain not as hot though

[Sean Moore]

agree with DJ, that looks like my Orcon gun. It will put an amazing amount of glue out in a short amount of time. You'll have to get the answer straight from the star of the video, I'm afraid, Kyle.

[Daris Mulkin]

It doesn't take a great amount of thermo to do the job. Also I'm sure he is using the Kool sticks and they are of a lower melting point than say Orcon's or Crain's.
Kool sticks are what should be used with the Koolglide
I also have the Orcon and Crain gun. Orcon to me is hotter also, I've never checked wattage to compare. The one thing I like about the Crain is the handle it gives me a place to wrap the cord when not in use.

Sounds good, I'm gonna order the orcon gun with koolsticks on my next order from shag tools. Gotta wait until my koolglide tape is running low before I place another order..

[Roland Thompson]

Yes it is the Orcon glue gun with the kool guide sticks. Were most of the people make there mistake is they put to much glue on the side.
Treat it just like you are latexing the seam, just fill the picks on the side, you should not see a build up of glue that is why I had them come up and touch it so they could feel the glue there and see just how much glue it takes.
That is why I like the peak buster tip the tip will drive it into the picks as you go down the side, just like you do with your fingers when you latex.

Thank you all for the kind words on the training it was raw and uncut, no 2nd takes what I did is what you got.

[Sean Moore]

does the kool glide system bond the two sides together when you use their sticks? i.e. "weld"?

[Daris Mulkin]

Yes it does. That is why it is important to use the Kool sticks as they are a low melt temperature like the tape. Matter fo fact it is the same thermo as on the tape.

sigh. stupid tools! always getting better.

sheesh, now I want to get a residential contract on the side just so I can justify buying BOTH the SDN and the KG.

[Daris Mulkin]

I'm a tool freak too. I always had to have the new stuff first, so I could check it out.
Now its the old stuff last with the antiques.

I knew it was Roland before I hit play.
