I recently put a coat of sealer over my concrete floor. I bought the carpet pad glue and was getting ready to glue the carpet pad down but I read on the gallon of glue that I shouldn't use it over a sealer. What do I use to keep the carpet pad in place?

If it is just pad glue that you use to hold the pad in place for stretch in carpet you will be fine using it. If you a going to do a double stick gluedown carpet, where you fully glue the pad then fully glue the carpet to the pad then the sealer won't let the pad glue stick.
