Carpet adhesive?

Super 77 or any contact adhesive can work acceptably depending on the carpet backing, if the backing isnt relatively smooth you wont get a lot of surface area to your bond. It works differently than the 263 which should give you more time to reposition and then will form a pretty serious bond to the carpet regardless of backing texture if used properly. Don't use the henry 663 currently found at lowes it is never fully water proof, and gas fumes will eat it alive. I am looking at 600 dollars of carpet that wont stay down now.

If you have a roller, it really helps stick it down good. I use a small one that I had for sound insulation in vehicles on the small pieces, and borowed the large on from the kitchen foor the larger areas.   3M Super 77 is almost as useful as duct tape.

Just make sure the proper knotch size trowel is used per the instructions and you won't get to much.

Thank you

Hey folks,

The previous owner of the boat recently replaced the carpet but it is falling down on the passengers side where it runs up the wall. Just wondering what the best thing to use to re-attach it would be??

Thanks
