I have always used 3M spray-on adhesive from the FLAPS.  It sticks well
enough and the carpets will be relatively easy to remove if you need to some
day (like for cleaning once a year).  The yellow 3M trim adhesive ("gorilla
snot") is way to sticky IMHO and messy to work with.

Subject: carpet glue


Hello,

I have a new to me set of carpet for the camper. I got it from Chris,
JordanVW@AOL.com . He sent an exceptionally nice set, and now I want to
install it.

The slovenly PO spilled battery acid all over the old stuff, otherwise it
has held up incredibly well over 17 years since it was new. After I pressure
washed the Chris Carpet, it looks brand new.

Anyway, there looks to be a yellow glue under the carpet, and I wonder if
anyone knows what it is. I thought it might be like 3M trim adhesive, but I
do not want to use the wrong glue. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
