Carpet adhesive

[Tom L.]

Anyone have a recommendation for a good carpet adhesive. I've seen mention of 3M 77 spray multi purpose adhesive (available at home Depot) and 3M 8090 Super trim Adhesive.

Any suggestions? My first time doing this and would prefer not to do it over again.

I have used 3M Super 77 multipurpose adhesive on my cars carpets with great success. I also know that the upholstery installers in my area also use a lot of it.

Re: Carpet adhesive

When you use the 3M do you spray both surfaces then stick together?

Yes I will work one side sprayed but not nearly as well as both sides applied

I once checked the label numbers. I think you will find Lowes Weldwood contact cement is the same thing as what Al Knoch sells. Is cheaper as I remember.
