    Carpet Question

    I am planning on using Marine carpet glue when I put the new carpet down on the decks and cockpit area but what would be the best for the hatches???

    Carpet glue or contact cement????

    Any ideas appreciated!!!

    On mine I used the carpet glue on the hatch tops. When they dried I fitted the sides with contact cement and clamped.

    The Weldwood gel contact cement is some good stuff.

    I used all contact cement, dries quicker and tight hold. Personal choice I guess.
