[QUOTE="-CN-, post: 408548, member: 18939"] I also used the Helmsman shown above, but I used satin cause I figured a less-shiny surface would allow the carpet glue to stick better. I realize that probably makes no difference after working with the peanut butter consistency of the glue. I used the DAP brand outdoor carpet adhesive. Three coats of the Helmsman and then a solid coat of the carpet adhesive and I can foresee no problems with moisture. Also, if you apply the carpet and then immediately screw the panels down into the boat, the screw heads will disappear into the carpet and also be sealed by the still-wet glue. [/QUOTE]
