[QUOTE="thomasdgs, post: 450142, member: 22880"] The steps I followed to get the carpet on my larger bits (and smaller bits a like) were: -trace outline on to carpet, and cut out with 3" extra on all edges (net trim) -apply glue to top of deck pieces, and let it set up for a couple minutes (get tacky) -lay the glue covered board down onto the carpet laying on a flat surface -Glue and staple the carpet to the back of the board along the longest flat edge (quickly!) -flip the board and roll the carpet with a 1.5" pipe from the stapled side out to all the other edges -flip the board back over and glue ( including the board edges) and staple remaining edges -spend an hour picking all the carpet glue and carpet fluff off my hands. Tip: if you have any curved edges, save those until you have stapled the back on all straight edges, then have plenty of sharp blades handy for trimming the excess on curved edges so it will lay flat.
