Can you glue carpet to sound deadener?

[sixpack_sid]

I just laid down some sound deadener and am ready to install the carpet. It doesn't lay quite right and the foil is so slick that I would like to secure it with some double sided tape. Has anyone done it that way? I need some advice. Give me your 
Thanks!

Sure.
I used carpet laying tape found at Home Depot. Sticky, two-sided tape used in laying house carpet.
Worked great for holding the carpet to the foil backed sound deadener. Had to use it in a couple spots.

Contact cement would also work, but you better get it right the first time...

I did the same on Bill's suggestion, worked well especially along the sill plate edge.

Thanks for the advice! I got some double sided carpet tape and also saw a video where a carpet installer used the butyl tape that goes around the rear windshield as an adhesive. I have some left over from my windshield install-maybe I'll use some of that.

I wouldn't use butyl. It'll be a sticky mess if you ever try to pull up the carpet again. And, if you get any on your carpet, it will NOT come off without ruining it.
Tape. Cheap. Clean. Simple. Works.

Just go easy with the stuff, no need to cover the carpet in double sided tape, a little goes a long way.

Thanks for the replies! I won't use the butyl, just the tape.
