Spray adhesive for ski locker carpet

[dvan1901]

What is a good spray adhesive for a ski locker carpet? I've rolled back about half of it do so floor work and just need to re-adhere it and was thinking spray adhesive would be the easiest.

dvan, You can use any water-resistant spray adhesive, or buy some outdoor carpet adhesive. The carpet adhesive goes on with a trowel, but is much stringer, but less "tacky". You can use contact cement, which will stick the carpet to the vertical surfaces better.

If you could get a pint of bulk adhesive from your local upholstery shop, then spray it with your Binks style syphon air gun. Spray it on the floor and the back side of the carpet. You could fold the carpet, spray each fold, then lay it out a fold at a time

That glue sprays real well. It is very neat and easy to apply evenly with the spray gun.

That's the way I did it with my Nautolex vinyl flooring.

I got some heavy duty spray adhesive from 3M that is water resistant that I think will work. It's a two step spray too; spray the sides, spray the carpet, wait a minutes or two and then J roll it to adhere it.
