Tim,

I installed all of it with the foil side in. In other words the carpet would actually be glued against the foil. As I recall the instructions that came with the material did say that for certain areas where there may be extreme heat the foil side should be towards the heat. Possibly in a footbox that might run close to a header or something. I didn't have this concern so installed it all foil side out.

I used the spray on contact cement that JCW sold with the insulation to glue the insulation to the cockpit first. I beleive it called for spraying the glue on only one surface and apply while still wet for a more permanent bond. I beleive I sprayed it on the padding side of the insulation then applied it. It really held well even on the top underside of the footbox. I then used 3M's General Trim Adhesive to glue the carpet to the foil. It called for spraying both mating surfaces.

Hope that helps.

-Matt
