   you only need to spray a thin layer of glue. it won't stain the carpet at all.

   the glue seems to work fine, but when its a nice hot day, it melts the glue and the fabric comes off, i used glue from halfords, b&q, and some me had, carpet glue. gutted.
   
   when using it, it didnt seep through the material,
