    Default Glueing Foam Mats

    Has anyone tried to glue the letters in place on the interlocking foam mats? I have covered my playroom floor with these lovely foam alphabet mats but the "letters" keep popping out and I'm forever treading on them to push them back down again. I want to glue the letters in but not sure if it would work or what type of glue to use?

    Not quite sure Hun, I have the same in our playroom but ive just got used to popping them back in

    If it helps, I know you can buy plain foam mats on eBay but I think the squares are bigger in size x

    Could you use Gaffa Tape and tape them down on the underside?

    You could glue a large square piece of card to the whole of the other side, this would prob give the glue a better hold & save you having to try doing it round the thin edges of the letters!

    Tape or card on the bottom is a good idea, but if not, tesco sell the bigger plain mats (60cm square) 4 for £7.50.

    We just used duct tape on the back of each tile.
