What John says is correct, i forgot, we used to have problems with duct tape on carpet when I had inexperienced techs unmasking.  One must know how to correctly remove duct tape from carpet or it will create problems.
We used to do carpet repair so we have the tools to deal with that. Also using metholyne cloride does take a lot of practice and extreme attention to detail or it will get away from you.
Pushing your limits is risky. Do what's comfortable for your skill level.
