Re: Installing carpet
Kep,<br /><br />I just put a new floor and carpet in my boat. The carpet I used was marine grade carpet, the backing is rubber. I used the old carpet as a template to cut the new carpet (just make sure the new and old pieces are both right side up or visa versa) then cut the new carpet about three inches over on each side. Then I laid it out to make sure of the fit. My carpet laid in three sections, two on the sides and the main piece in the middle. I applied an outdoor carpet glue with a trowel per the instructions on the can and applied it in sections starting with the front first. As I made my way towards the back I rolled the carpet over the glue I had applied. Once it was down I rolled a rolling pin over everything to make the glue adhere better and also to take out any high or low spots in the glue. I then cut the overhanging pieces on the edges. It turned out great. Just beware, the glue can be pretty messy.<br />Good luck!
