    Adhesive for cold weather

    Will be recarpeting my boat this winter. Will be inside my attached garage (unheated). I have a kerosene heater and space heater I can use to warm up the garage but I doubt I'll get consistently upto and keep at 65 degrees.

    Any recommendations for glue or contact adhesive that will work okay in colder temperatures?

    Thanks, Robert

    Please be careful with the open flame heaters and possible fumes building up.

    I use weldwood, I also use a 2 quart pressure pot. I’ve done a shit load of bass boats, the hotter the better. It’s gets down below freezing here, I will heat up everything, lids carpet and the glue. For the glue I will use a heat gun or a hot plate. The carpet comes into the house, the lids get put in front of my 80,000 btu forced air heater. The boat itself will get a heating blanket on the deck,the floor and the back end. Anything over 80 degrees and I’m loving it, the glue bonds faster, and I get done faster.
