Considering this, does carpet padding go over tack strip?
Cut the carpet padding so it covers the entire floor with 1/2 inch of extra padding around the perimeter. Trim away excess padding with a utility knife, making sure the carpet tack strip is clear of any padding. Leave 1/8 to 1/4 inch of space between the padding and the tack strip.
Also question is, what kind of glue do you use for carpet padding?
Roberts 1-Gal. 4002 Carpet Pad Adhesive adheres to bonded foam, synthetic foam and rubber carpet padding in residential and commercial areas. The latex-based formula dries and sets quickly and provides a long-lasting bond.
