Does anyone have any good ideas on how to fasten the carpet and still keep it removable?   I planned to use Velcro but it doesn’t seem to stick to the carpet backing well enough.

Tom,



The velcro I have seen on the carpet had been sewn to the carpet. Hot glue may be a good option though, similar to the seaming tape used on carpet.

Using some kind of contact cement between the carpet and the Velcro seems to be the best way we have found.  You mainly just don’t want it sliding around.  

   

Hope this helps.

Hmmm  

   

Is there a fire issue here? Contact cement, IIRC is quite flammable. Is there a better way?  

   

Cheers

For those using Abby's carpet at Flightline, to ease your mind,

velcro holds her carpet in well, so you won't have to worry

about this too much.

Tim



Does Abby offer a partial carpet kit or is it all or nothing.  Thinking 

about painting much of the interior and only carpeting on areas where knees 

and elbows touch.



Thanks,

I used snap buttons - 1/2 fastened to the floor pans before they were  riveted in place, 1/2 fastened to the carpet.  I may sew velcro on the  carpet later if needed.

No worries les,  

            The most dangerous time for contact cement is when it is still wet. As it dries and the volatiles outgas the glue becomes mostly inert. I’ve compared the contact cement supplied from airtex (which is used in certified installs) to commercially available “dap” type glue and upholstery cement we use for auto tops, and found they are almost identical. The dried cement “boogers “we burn tested did burn a bit under direct flame, but did not support combustion. In a comparison test all types performed the same.   

In certified aircraft its common to use cardboard type upholstered panels with foam and a fabric or leather finish. I can tell you with some certainty that the board and foams burn vigorously and DO support a flame. But as long as the exposed surface has an approved burn spec it gets faa blessing or so it seems. I’d not worry about the adhesive as much as wisely choose the materials used in the install.

I'm not sure. I'd bet it would be partial available, but that answer

would be something to get from her.  I just got everything.
