I have some large carpet tiles that I obtained from work ;-) I'm laying them down in my kitchen temporarily until I get a new kitchen in the new year. What's the best light adhesive to use to hold them down. I thought about silicone but I don't fancy spending a full day scraping it back off again in a few months time.

Whatever adhesive you use, you will have to scrape it off again unless you use double sided carpet tape.
Is it worth it if your getting a new kitchen soon?

CTT do a lo-tack adhesive. We often use this in communal areas where we know that individual areas are going to suffer soiling. This stuff allows us to replace tiles easily. That's the stuff you want.
