Is there an adhesive that will stick Carpet tile to painted concrete?

carpet adhesive sticks to any clean surface, its like liquid nails

We just laid some carpet tiles. The substrate was an old wood T&g floor that had a glue down padding from what looked like 1980 something. The padding was basically powdering up when you touched it, a lot of it we just left down. We cleaned it the best we could and rolled the dice with the adhesive, trawled it on top and laid the carpet tiles. I didn’t think it would stick but I was 100% wrong. Stuck amazingly well. We purchased the adhesive from the flooring supply store along with the trawl tool. I’d say go with it. You can do a sample drop piece in a corner but the dry time in the glue takes a couple days before you can do a pull test on it. G’luck

That makes sense.
