The front floor section of my carpet is ripped, and I need to re-carpet it. When I did it , I used the indoor/outdoor carpeting from Home Depot, but did not glue it. I just wrapped it under and stapled it. I then screwed it down with finish washers. I'm wondering if I should glue it this time? What I didn't like is the carpet would expand from the sun and have waves in it. If I glue it will the glue solve that problem? Do you recommend I use carpet adhesive or contact cement? Which would be easier to remove when I have to re-carpet again? Thanks.

Best bet is to glue. Also there is a spray can of adhesive that works well and will be easier to remove next time.

Thanks Jeff. What is the spray adhesive you recommend? When I put the floor section back in, is it necessary to screw it down? The piece is about 42" X 44" I'm guessing.

I will get you the name of the adhesive I have used tomorrow evening. I would screw everything down. It is not that hard to remove screws next time!

i used contact cement on my boat when i recarpeted it in january. on other forum a guy did a water exposure test by gluing 2'' carpet squares to wood then submersing it in a bucket for a few days. contact cement held strong while carpet glue lost all hold. glue did re-adhere once dry though.
i glued carpet to the wrong side of one peice. it was stuck so good i had to use a grinder to get it off.
4months in im completely happy.
