What Carpet Glue do you box builders use?

I'm old school and I use contact cement! Mainly it is because I worked as a carpenter's helper one summer while in high school and I've always had better luck with it over the spray on glue.

tbh, the stuff walmart sells works pretty well and it's cheap enough to use a shit load to make sure it works. you can probably get 2-3 cans of it for the price of one 3M super 77.

it's called Dura-someshit.. forgot.

I have used the stuff you can get on PartsExpress.com, and the 3M Super 77. Had excellent results with both. Either is a good choice. Just be sure to follow the instructions on the can. This is where a lot of people go wrong with spray adhesives, by not reading the can. Read up, and all will go well.

I hate that shit, by the time you apply enough for it to work you have used as much as you have saved by buying the cheaper stuff. Around ports and such it loves to peel off.

I like super 77 but like other have said its expensive, so I use a weldwood water based contact cement shot out of an hplv gun. There is more setting time but that carpet will NEVER come off. And i buy it by the gallon for $20

And Mcsoul and I used the elmers, its terrible
