[Zmagnette] Slightly OT-Carpet adhesive

[Allen Bachelder]

Charlie,

My first rule of auto restoration has always been: if it says "3M" on it, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't.  But I thought I heard recently that environmental regulations had raised havoc with their stuff.  So what is the latest truth, everybody?

Thanks,
Allen

I’m thinking I don’t want to weld it down and I’ll probably have to do a lot of fussing to get it all into place. Any suggestions as to brand or type of adhesive you’ve had good results with? Or does it need anything at all?
