Once the adhesive is tacky, take the glued carpet and carefully pull it up and over the leading edge of the step. Position it precisely and then press it down firmly, working your way from the back of the tread towards the front edge. Use your hands to smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles. Next, take the carpet bolster and place its thin edge into the crease where the carpet meets the riser. Using a hammer, gently but firmly tap the bolster along the entire length of the crease. This action drives the carpet down onto the gripper pins and presses it tightly into the corner, securing it in place and creating a crisp, neat line.
