Need help - areas of carpet coming up

[Joseph10]

Hello,
I just bought a used 2005 boat. There are a couple of areas where the marine carpet is coming up from the floor (I believe both areas are over aluminum lids).

The areas are small (2-3" diameter). I would just like to know if there is a recommended method for gluing it back down.

I was thinking of getting a syringe and filling it with contact adhesive - just injecting very small "drops" throughout the area (a very small amount so it does not saturate through to the top). Then, firmly press down with a heavy, flat object.

Does that sound reasonable?

Thanks,
Joseph

Yes it does sound like a great idea. Tractor SUpply sells syringes for animals that would work. Fair size and heavy duty.
