Default Installing insulation

Hi forum,
I am installing an insulation kit purchased here on the forum from Dan. Which kind of 3M spray adhesive have you used? What were the results? There are several types of spray adhesive in the 3M product line.
Thanks in advance!!
Rob

I don't know if you are using Frost King or not but I put mine down without any adhisive at all. The carpet has held it in place just find.

I thought Dan was shipping the adhesive along with his insulation ?

I'd contact him for these details. He knows his product better than anyone else.

It just finished installing Dan's kit. I used 3M 90 from Home Depot.
One can did the whole car.

I've heard the #90 was the best to use but I had a can of #77 and used that and it worked perfectly (its also a few $$$ cheaper per can)
