One more carpet question

[binny]

how hard is it to patch a carpet?

The people before us had cats who scratched to get out rooms so the carpet is frayed in a few places.

I have more of the carpet, can I just patch it? The areas are probably 2 sq inches if that. Can I just cut it out and somehow glue more in?


Any ideas?

From Google:

Step1: Cut out the entire damaged area with a utility knife. Try to do this with just one cut on each side and avoid cutting through the carpet pad.
Step2: Use the cut-out piece as a pattern to cut a new piece. Be sure to match the direction of the pile.
Step3: Spread carpet adhesive on the exposed carpet pad and on the back of the patch itself.
Step4: Put some adhesive under the edges of the carpet surrounding the hole as well.
Step5: Press the patch into the hole and rough up the pile with your fingertips.
Step6: Let the glue dry for about six hours and then vacuum the patched area.
