    Whatkind of Carpet Glue

    Starting my project. What exact type of glue do you use and where to get it for recarpeting a boat. I hear people saying Weldwood all the time but that is listed as only water resistant, I would think that this is not good that you need waterprooof contact cement.


    Any comments as certainly appreciated...

    I used Weldwood but it hasnt been on the water yet. Seems great so far but the fumes are terrible.

    That 24oz Syntec with the padding sure feels good to these old tired feet. Yep, the red can..........

    I used Henry's brand that came from Lowes. I don't remember the exact kind, they had a few different ones, but it was waterproof for use on outdoor carpet.
