Did you remove the deck paint / coating before applying the adhesive?
 
I cleaned the area and the pvc board with isopropyl alcohol. Sanded the bottom of the pvc board with 100 grit and the deck under the pvc board. Cleaned again with isopropyl

Weighed down the pvc board with anchors as the Lexel cured

Takes about 5 days for Lexel to fully cure in the summer

That PVC board isn’t going anywhere—Lexel, once cured, adheres just as well as PL 5200, but much easier to remove in the future. It’s much more manageable and friendly to work with compared to 5200. Paints over well also.
 
Nice!

I did that around my battery box. It was jumping all around when going down the road.
