No need to sand unless you have edges that don't line up. Carpet is nice because it hides imperfections well. I like to spray both surfaces that will be in contact then wait about 2 mins to let the glue tack up then it sticks real well. The only thing I don't like about carpeting boxes is that its really easy to make a mess. Make sure to not get the glue where it will show on the carpet, you will never get it off and if you rub it, you just get a flat spot. Its very easy to do this too.

Ok...so the glue will stick between the carpet and box surface no matter the texture without sanding....not sayin its real rough tho

I bought some glue from my wholesaler a few days ago. I don't know where you can find it though. But it comes out like a spider web. It is hard to explain how it looks. I found it was easier to control the spray and didn't stink up the house. It was fun to use! Way better than the 3m stuff IMO. If you want to search for it let me know and I will run down the basement and get the name.
