Cowl insulation installation

I am looking to install the cowl insulation (the grey stuff) and I was wondering if anyone could give some advice on how to install it.  I assume you use some type of glue but what type and how do you keep it up while drying?

Thanks for any insight!

If it is glued on rather than clipped on I would use contact cement. (Very long time since I installed mine)
It dries quickly after it has tacked off so you shouldn't need to hold it in place for long at all.

I think you mean firewall insulation?

He's correct Don.. cowl is the air intake area in front of the windshield. I used 3M spray contact cement soaked into the insulation and a quick spray on the underside of the cowl.

Firewall insulation is held on by plastic push pins.
