I'm getting ready to recarpet a buddy's boat and my boat also. He's buying the carpet from BPS and I think he's getting the glue. I know to use the regular glue on deck's and floor. For the lids I should use contact cement, right? I was in Ace Hardware the other day and saw a quart of contact cement, would that be the stuff I should use? I didn't know if it was a spray-on cement, or a roll-on.
Funny you should be asking this question,I am in the prosses of redoing the carpet in my 85 Ranger. Doing the lids now during the off fishing season. From reading what othe guys have done and used I am using DAP Weldwood contact cement for the lids. Stuff really has alot of fumes but sure works well for the job. I'm thinking of using the same for the flooring also. Good Luck it is a hard job but well worth it !!!
When I do a boat thats all I use...stuff works great and holds a long time...pllus it dries pretty quickly....
