Step 3 · Apply New Adhesive

Choose a strong, flexible adhesive specifically designed for carpets and stairs, such as a heavy-duty carpet adhesive or construction adhesive. Apply a generous, even bead of adhesive to the stair tread surface where the carpet has lifted, or directly to the back of the carpet if it's a spray adhesive. Ensure coverage extends to all areas that need re-adhering.
