[TR] TR6 - installing carpet snaps - is there a trick to this?

[Geo & Kathleen Hahn]

I have found that I can usually just put the carpet in the desired position 
then press very hard against the male snap... this will leave an impression 
on the underside of the carpet that I use to locate the snap to be 
installed.  If the impression is too faint a bit of chalk or such on the 
male snap may leave a better mark.
