    Question Question about birdsong adhesive ?

    Anyone who has used the birdsong carpet adhesive..
    Was wondering what the consistency or thickness of the adhesive is.. Do you think it would be thin enough to run through a large bore syringe and needle or a basting needle.. Need to do some spot gluing under the carpet..
    I have tried the Henry 263 but it's too thick to run through the needles.
    Or does anyone know if either the birdsong or the henry can be thinned with something to make it more fluid without losing it's strength ??

    If you are injecting it with a syringe, could you try gorilla glue?

    That may be an option (IF) Gorilla Glue is 100% water proof.
    I found out the hard way not all so called outdoor/marine carpet glue is water proof......

    After talking to their tech on the phone I decide to use weldwood contact cement. He told me it was very similar to their carpet adhesive. It would dry without the need for air.

    So -- do you think it could be injected under the carpet in a few loose spots ???
