[QUOTE="Mac, post: 58581, member: 842"] I used the rubber backing carpeting from Lowe's and found it to lift easily even after using adhesives.....the backing simply pulls off. In order to counteract this, I used the spray adhesive to attach the carpet on the top of the plywood, but when getting to the rounded edges and the inch and a half underneath, I used liquid nails and staples.....the liquid nails waterproofed the painted edges and the staples helped greatly. I remember somewhere along the way I saw carpet that had no backing, just a random flat mesh on the underside with very small openings....would have worked better, even on paste type adhesives. Just had forgotten about it when shopping Lowe's. [/QUOTE]
