[doc] Re: Carpet Glue

["Mike Bosworth" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Martin 

Breathing fumes ?...not that i know of but as with all solvents i 
use them in a well ventilated space :) :)

No experience of 3m '74' range in sticking down carpets sorry, only 
the '76' range and to be honest im not sure what the difference is ( 
I wouldnt recommend to use this on 'headliners' its a bit 'thick' , 
whats the '74' like for these??), all i can say is the Maplins Spray 
Adhesive (N66AN) has worked for me in the past on carpets but then 
at £3.50 a tin im obviously another one of those typical tight 
northerners :0)  

Interesting fact about the fibre backed carpets, didnt know that was 
a feature on later cars, my aftermarket piece of brown hardboard is 
starting to look a bit battered might have to invest in another 
piece just in time for the trip down to Lotus 06 :) 

Kind Regards
