Sorry, I don't have pics yet....sticky gluey fingers.lol
14' Bayliner bowrider
I'm installing new marine carpet in my boat.
I've started it already and I did the two biggest side pieces, and first 4ft of deck. its glued, but only rough cut with 1-2" on edges to be trimmed.
I got too hot & frustrated and quit (90?+) Direct sun.
I cant figure out how to meet the carpet neatly.
Where the sides meet the deck, and deck pieces meet seat base.
Im copying the factory carpet design.
Ive heard to overlap the two pieces and glue edges with contact cement...I've also seen a rubber style trim to confine the seams.
I like the trim, it has a 3M adehesive back, or ive seen with ends and somehow screwed down
What is the method for getting the edge right?
Thanks for help in advance
