Try putting a thin bead of clear acrylic latex caulk on the back about 1/4 inch from the end. Then using a wet short bristled brush work the wet caulk into the
root of the cut at the end of the runner. Allow to set over night and this will lock in the carpet fibers. The caulk is water soluble until it has set up and can be worked into the fibers of the carpet where it will not show.

I cut a carpet runner into two pieces.
Any suggestions on how to stitch or finish off the cut end so they dont ravel?
