Yes. According to CRI 104 guidelines it is still a recommended practice to bond seams together using a seam adhesive. Further, proper application of this adhesive is extremely important to insure success. The adhesive, such as Capitol 022 or 033 seam sealers, must be placed on the edge of the carpet primary and secondary backings and not be placed directly on the floor. Follow the simple instructions on the packaging for both 022 and 033 for proper seam adhesive placement.
