What adhesive do i use for acoustical padding?

I've tried spray adhesives but the pads fall off after an hour or so. I need to glue 96 of them onto the wall (sheetrock). I want something that won't screw up the pads in case i move and need to take them down later. I tested contact cement but it permanently bonded the pads to the wall.
Does anyone know what i'm suppose to use? Thanx!!!

i have acustic padding all over my home studio , and most if not all the adhesies I've looked at are permanent . Ive tried many things from glueing them onto poster board to taking them up , and what I've found that work's ( it's cheezy) was I just put some small scres in em and they held and it did not deminish the quality of sound , but if you do that you might want to invest in something to fill the holes in the wall when you leave :)

Find a local music store that sell's Auralex Studio product's. They have the best removable adhesive in the bussiness. I use it faithfully.

I checked the can, and it is called FOAMTAK. It is the only thing I will use now.

You could try using velcro strips and glue those to the wall and the back of your panels.
Not only can you take them with you if you move but you can remove them at will to experiment with having different reflection surfaces for your mics.
