carpet adhesive on treated lumber

[Russdog]

I'm looking for a recomendation on what type of adhesive to use on treated lumber. Most I've seen (Henry's, Roberts) say not to use on treated lumbeer.
Suggestions?

Hello Russ..

not only the ply compatible glue..but what does your carpet suggest. ?

Most backed carpets I would suggest Dap Contact cement ( troweled ). some are too thin and use a spray glue ( like 3m trim adhesive in a spray ).

NO MATTER what you use.. Dont be alone ..and wear a respo.

last thing you need is to be overcome with fumes..bad bad stuff here....make you feel your hair grow ...

YD. ... be safe m8 ( fume glues are nothing to mess with ! )

I got mine at Lowe's. Outdoor carpet cement. Black can. I can't recall the name. If the wood is really wet it will take a long time to dry.

and yeah, a good whiff and you'll have a headache for days.

I got mine at Lowes also. Mine was in a white gallon bucket. I used it on PT plywood that was still wet. Took a while to dry. Once it dries it holds very well. I used it on a small section of flooring in my boat. It was a quick fix using cheap carpet last summer. I decided to fix it right this spring. Had to use a grinding wheel to get the carpet off.

I build pontoon boats and we use sommething that looks and smells just like Elmers glue, it comes in a giant cube probably 80-100 gallons so I don't know a brand name but you can glue treated wood.

I have used the trowel on outdoor carpet glue from Lowes/Menards on marine ply and it worked really well.
