What Carpet Glue do you box builders use?

The elmers spray adhasive in the orange can SUCKS

I used it on my headliner and its already giving, used it on my box and the seams started to lift. Followed the instructions exactly to.

Contact cement for me from now on

 
Yeah, Duro is the cheap stuff in the blue can. Here it's $3.96 for an 11oz. can. The applicator tip is crappy IMO, spray patten is inconsistent and it takes 2 cans to do even a small box if you want the seams to stay put any legnth of time. The 3M Super 77 is around $10 for 16.75oz. I can use one can for 2 small boxes with good results. IMO it's the better value in the long run.

I'm thinking of trying a combination. Use Duro on the flat panels and S77 on the corners and seams and see how far it goes.

Yep thats my exact experience with duro.

As far as WOT and your headliner, i would not even use super 77 or 99 i would use a heavy duty contact cement.
