If you decide the carpeting route, make sure the glue use use has a high heat resistence. Do some research and find out to what temperature the glue is rated to. If you go 3m in a spray can (I am assuming you don't have access to a glue pot), don't get Super 77, it will peal up and won't hold. 8090 is pretty decent, although Hi-Strenght 90 has a stronger hold and a better heat resistence (though I don't know by how much). If you can access a compressor and spray gun, Landeu top glue generally has a VERY high heat resistence. It is flamable unitl it dries, so just make sure it's nice and dry etc before you go igniting a spark around it (not sure why you would do that), etc. However, I know of Landeu glue that has a rating of above 225 degree's. If you don't can't get that, it fine. 3m Hi-Strength 90 or 8090 will work (I'd pay the extra for the High Strenght 90). There are some other good upholster glues out there also, but you'll have to call around and do research to find the temp rating, etc. I know many uplostery shops that use glue other than 3m, but they did their homework to find out what was what, etc. I hope this helps a bit.
