It will work for light-duty or perimeter hold on sealed OSB, but it is not the ideal or long-term solution for installing carpet tiles. This tape is designed for light-duty hold (edges, corners, small areas) It is not a full-spread installation method for carpet tiles On OSB (even sealed), you may get: Inconsistent adhesion due to surface texture Release over time, especially in traffic areas Possible residue or damage when removed
This tape is not recommended for that application. It is designed for temporary carpet installation on floors, not for mounting material vertically or to metal surfaces like aluminum. In a horse trailer, heat buildup can significantly reduce the adhesive strength, especially on vertical surfaces and with heavier materials like rubber-backed carpet.
For a spiral metal staircase, I wouldn’t recommend using Model # 50-605-12 as the primary way to hold carpet in place. Metal stairs see vibration, temperature swings, and moisture. These are conditions that can cause double-sided carpet tape to release over time. A construction-grade adhesive rated for metal + carpet is recommended.
Roberts 50- 605-12 is a double sided carpet tape made for installing carpet without tack strips, and it works on many surfaces including concrete, vinyl, and some existing flooring. It’s marketed as suitable for indoor and outdoor use and provides a quick bonding adhesive. It can work to anchor carpet on top of carpet if the bottom carpet is low-pile, tight weave and firmly attached and if you only need temporary anchoring. However, this product is primarily designed for installing carpet to hard surfaces. Customer Care

To use heat bond tape for carpet installation, prepare the seam by laying the carpet edges with seaming tape underneath. Use a seaming iron, set to an appropriate temperature, to melt the adhesive on the tape while it's positioned under the seam. Slowly move the iron along the seam, then immediately push the two carpet edges together, backing to backing, making sure no fibers are caught. Apply weight and allow the seam to cool completely before trimming any stray fibers. For further assistance, please contact customer care at 866-435-8665. Customer Care
