After the seaming tape has cooled and set, use a carpet tucker tool (also known as a stair tool) to push and secure the carpet edge onto the newly installed tack strip. Work systematically along the edge, ensuring the carpet is taut and fully engaged with the tacks. Then, use a wall trimmer or carpet knife to carefully cut away any excess carpet material, creating a perfectly straight and clean edge that sits flush against the step or wall. This ensures a professional and aesthetically pleasing transition.
