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,
