Not so sticky spray glue?

[Kielbasavw]

Im using some black speaker box carpet as a tool box liner. Works really well on the smaller trays and lighter weight tools. But the bigger and heavier stuff like to pull the carpet and bunch it up a little bit.

I was thinking spray glue if there is one that would work well and not be sticky enough to ruin the paint of the drawer or my carpet liners. And I'd be able to pull em out with ease to clean or replace if ever needed

Have you tried the non-slip carpet pads. Can be gotten at HD, Lowes, amazon and your local hardware and carpet shops.

3m multi-purpose adhesive?

I have an older matco tool box with the shallow drawers. If I add anything under some of the tools. They won't fit anymore. One reason I went with the real thin speaker box carpet

You don't have the 1/16" height for this:

No sir. Some of the stuff will actually click on the box when opening and closing they are pretty shallow drawers

I just did the same thing with my toolbox. I used Loctite spray adhesive medium hold. Comes in a blue can.

Realistically, how often would you really need to remove the carpet to clean?. A quick blow with an air nozzle should be fine. I would use 5-6 dabs of silicone. Years down the road if you need to replace, just pull it out and scrape off the silicone on the drawer. No mess, no damage.

3M 45 is really the best I have used with that kind of carpet. 77 if its a really irregular shape but 45 should be fine on flat smooth drawer. Carpet like that doesn't love to stick to adhesives its meant to be stapled or the really tacky glue thats basically solid and squishes up through it.

That said the silicon is probably the best suggestion if you don't want it there permanently.

I have used super 77 from 3M, sprayed the liner and let it set up until just tacky and pressed it in place.

When I pulled the liners after several years they came right up and a wipe with acetone cleaned up the small bit of residue left.
