    Glue for carpet

    I need to replace the carpet on the inside of my finder wells. What is a good glue I should use? If I end up doing the bunk boards should I glue the carpet as well? Thank you.

    What he said. That stuff holds tight and works great in marine carpet.

    You're going to want to staple it on, glue only holds for so long where the carpet gets soaked in water. Stainless is the only way to go..

    I use Super 77 spray and then staple for the bunk boards, it's just easier to work with than Weldwood. For the fender wells I'd probably go with Weldwood though.
