Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Sep 26, 2016 8:05 am G'day, I have a L300 Mitsubishi Van. I have been given some carpet. I want to make a cut carpet piece to fit on the back floor of the Van. I want to put a boarder around the edges of the carpet once it is cut to size. What would you suggest I use? Duck Tape? What type? I would appreciate any suggestions.
