carpet adhesive

[krowey]

what's a good adhesive to use to keep my carpet under control? down in the ski locker i'm having a hard time keeping the carpet on the sides from staying where it's supposed to. i've tried a few and no luck yet. the area was cleaned and dried before each attempt.

I have had very good luck with contact cement.

Home depot sells 6700 indoor/outdoor carpet adhesive which holds really good. Cheap too!

Yep, 6700 from HD. Once applied and cured, it is there forever. I use it for the bunk carpets on the trailer and I redid the carpeting in my boat 2 summers ago with it. Great stuff. Important that you allow it to fully cure (I think 7 days) before exposing to water.
