True, but you are forgetting a major variable...water. Most of the adhesives/glues they sell are only water resistant. And most of us end up getting water onto our carpeted plywood decks. Either by sudden rain while fishing or forgetting to put the cover on the boat one night before it rains.
Either way, check out this thread, most of the testing of adhesives is on the second page by Jay415. Liquid Nails is water based and will break down, jeopardizing the integrity of the adhesive bond between the wood and rubber-backed carpet. Not all of us have heated garages to store our boats in either.
