Rug Padding

we placed an area rug over carpeting and it keeps moving. How can we stop it?

We have already tried the non slip pads as well as 2 way tape. The movement will even cause a couch placed on the area rug to move. We are reluctant to use nails as we don't really want to cut either of thr rugs.

Got a tip some time ago for same problem.
Applied clear silicone caulk to underside of small jute backed area rug .
Ran a " broken " bead around perimeter & criscrossed in the center area.
Flattened bead w/ finger to get rid of ridges & lumps.
Replaced rug after silicone was completely dry.
Does not glue the rug down , just gives the backing a little grip.
Cheap & worth a try.
Good luck

Rugsale Webisodes: How to Select Area Rug Padding by Charlie Kaoud



What is the best tool to cut a rug pad with?

I used kitchen shears that are pretty good but I think I ruined them.
The pad is thick and I need to cut it to size for a few area rugs.
(me and my bright ideas!! my hand is killing me!)

An Exacto knife has a thin weak blade and a pretty whimpy handle! Using it to cut the padding would wear out your hand again. Use a box cutter or utility knife with a stout handle. Hold a straight edge along your cutting line. I use a 2x4 stud. Put your weight on the wooden straight edge to mash down the material and to keep it from grabbing the blade and tearing while you cut. When I cut material like that, I actually stand on the 2x4 to hold it in place. Of course do it outside so that you don't go through and cut your floor.
