Temp for gluing carpet

[andy van slett]

what is the minimum working temp for gluing carpet with standard glue and for contact?

After glued, does the carpet with contact adhesive need to stay at a temp for any amount of time?

I know here in Fl It dosn't like under 65 deg for contact cement I'a doing a javelin right now Just keep an eye on it for wrinkels for a couple of hrs. I got to put it out side today for a while and everything stayed put. Only 2 more lids to go

I've done a couple different boats at around 60 degress in my garage without any problems.

to be more specific - it is currently -10degrees. if i heat the garage to 60 degrees, once the carpet is in can I let the garage cool back down or do i need to keep it warm for a few days.

Read the instructions on your carpet glue container. I re-carpeted mine at 65 F and it worked fine. Lower temps will just take a lot longer to cure.
