Read somewhere that this can be used in a ratio of 1:5!

Contract carpet tiles onto OSB for my boys' LEGO shed...(don't ask

I have gallons of the stuff, so before I go to Wickes and buy a
proprietary product (tackifier)

Anybody know if this'll work, enabling easy replacement?

I often use it in school for all sorts of things, wall tiles, carpet
tiles, display boards .. it's great stuff to work with and works well
if the carpet area isn't regularly damp or likely to get wet too often
... .

It's a good idea to start with to lay the carpet tiles out flat
somewhere so the edges don't curl up. If they develop a set before
trying to stick them, it's unlikely they'll stay flat long enough for
PVA to go off sufficiently without some kind of weight on them.

Also, I found the best way is to use dilute PVA fairly liberally but
evenly and over both sides to be stuck (floor and tile), then allow
them to go off a little so they're tacky when fixing.

We also have access to lots of PVA as it's used in school (Infants) a
lot!

Tub of PVA it is then, with some 2x sided tape for any bits that curl I
s'pose.
Do they also use it in the school canteen? Always did think the sticky
toffee pudding tasted funny

Mixed with the swept-up mouse droppings it makes a passable rice
pudding ..
