What did you use as an adhisive for your new flooring? I received mine and I like it a lot, better than carpet. Going to be putting it in soon when the weather improves.
I went down to my local auto upholstery shop, with an empty (clean) plastic apple juice container and had them fill it with a gallon of bulk upholstery contact cement. (about 18$)
I then laid my flooring out for fit, fan folded it from forward back to the middle ( about 18-24") and from back forward to the middle.
I used a Binks knock off syphon air gun:

to spray each section, both floor and flooring. I had my wife and son hold up the outer edges of the flooring while I unfolded the section and laid it down from the middle and pressed it forward and outward to keep any bubbles from forming. I did each section the same then returned to the middle and worked my way to the back.
This worked so neat. I expected that the sprayed glue would go everywhere so I masked everything in site. The truth was, I did not need to do that. There was no overspray, the glue went right where I pointed the gun. Looking at the glue, you'd think it was too thick to spray but not so. It was the easiest and neatest thing that I did.
