Tufting adhesive (contains anti-mite ingredients, 1kg)
This is a safe Japanese adhesive that is also used in rug factories. It also has anti-mite properties, so the finished rugs can be used safely even in homes with small children and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Can a complete beginner do this?
A. Yes, of course. There is a manual video, so even beginners can feel at ease.
Q. What is the largest size rug you can make?
A. Based on the inner dimensions of the frame, we can produce a maximum size of approximately 82 x 82 cm.
Q. Are tufting guns noisy?
A. The AK-1 cut pile tufting gun produces noise of about 70-80dB, which is about the same as a medium to loud volume of a vacuum cleaner or a TV, but the AK-2 is designed specifically for loop pile and has no scissors, so it produces a very quiet operation. (It is not completely silent, so we recommend using it during the day.)
