Reply to comment by ad79324 in Carpet tiles in the home advice on underlay and how to I fix them? by mypostisbad

Ah, I hadn't thought of tape! (what a bonehead!)

That sounds like a great idea. Any tips on type of underlay? Standard carpet stuff or could I use some of the wood floor underlay tiles that I have left over in my shed?

I'd use the underlay made for tile carpets. There is a specific kind.

I'm doing a patch of carpet squares in my basement office. Decided to start with duct tape to connect them since I had it on hand. I have to go pick up more squares, but so far they are staying together and not sliding on the concrete.

Yeah I've got duct tape but I'm grabbing some double sided carpet tape (similar stuff it seems) and will secure the corners.
