Re: IML: Carpet - to glue or not to glue

["john sadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

I think either the pad was glued down or glued to the carpet. If you use a 
thin replacement carpet, its probably going to bunch up from moving your 
feet across it. If its a fairly heavy carpet like the original, you may be 
able to get away with little of no glue.
