Marine vinyl flooring help...

[jze1212]

Hello there. I just replaced the floor in my boat, thanks everyone for all of your input from other forum, very helpfull, now I am going to put down some Nautolex marine vinyl flooring, neat stuf, I tink that I watered down the adhesive too much maybe because I put down a section last night and this morning it is still not stuc to floor like it should be, I wasa wondering if I used some polyester resin for the adhesive if that would work instead? the floor ris epoxy rersin but it would be very expensive to go that route, any suggestions for alternate adhesives??

Hmmm, I am not sure of that. I was advised by a freind at work that it'll not work becuase it needs oxygen to cure? Hmmm, I just need something that is tacky when applying to that in the areas that are curvy it will stick, ya know??? Any suggestions?

How about indoor - outdoor carpet glue? You'd have to test it on a scrap to make sure it doesn't react with your material but otherwise I would think it should work.
