Re: [AMC-list] Carpet

["Jeff Reeves" <amcnut@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you've ever seen a milk jug melt, then you know how easy it will be to 
heat/mold most aftermarket carpets. I know that specifically ACC carpets 
uses a plastic that is made of recycled milk jugs (among other things) and 
it won't take extreme amounts of heat to mold it. Be careful if using a heat 
gun--you could very easily melt a hole in your brand new carpet!
