I went for 20 oz carpet over 1/8" rubber backing


What glues will work to attach to my plywood that is spar varnished?

Does the manufacturer spec an adhesive? That'd be my 1st choice.

You will get differing opinions. Some say the latex based glues don't hold well if the carpet repeatedly gets wet, some say it does. I am going to use WeldWood All Weather Outdoor Carpet Adhesive which is solvent based. I did some tests (in my thread) and it sticks very well. I hope to be using it in the next month or so. A lot of guys also use contact cement.
