i prefer to take the 2mins and remove the edge trim.. then set damp towels UNDER the carpet/wires.
reduces the chance that you'll melt something.

Yes, it can catch on fire. I took my time with mine plus did some cooling with a spray bottle and it worked fine. Also won't hurt to have a set of eyes on the interior just to make sure. I have seen the results of someone welding the SFC by themselves, just going to town with the welder and didn't relize the interior was on fire. Not a pretty sight.
