Needing some Glue advice?
I just got some felt backed marine grade vinyl for a good price. I am needing so glue anyone have any suggestions?
Re: Needing some Glue advice?
I would suggest contacting pontoonstuff.com to see if they carry a special mastic for that purpose.
You cannot just go to Home Depot/Lowes and get a vinyl floor mastic. There are many different kinds of glues for different floors on different substrates. You have to get the correct one for your use.
I put the wrong mastic on 750 square feet of a 3" x 36" Naafco strip flooring that looked like wood--on a concrete slab. First time the floor got wet, the flooring started popping up. I had to spend many days removing the new floor and reinstalling it with a special Domco 404 adhesive/mastic made for that purpose. Get the right stuff.

I called pontoon stuff they didn't have anything.. There glue is just for the rubberbacked stuff they sell
Re: Needing some Glue advice?
In that case, I'd take a sample of the flooring and go to a large flooring store that sells a bunch of vinyl flooring. Ask them what they suggest.
Our local flooring giant has a separate building full of different kinds of mastics. Some are pretty flammable.

Yes be very careful of your surroundings when applying. Used to dock at a marina with a rack storage building. Some guy was working with glue on his boat and a spark set off a fire that burned the whole place down, boats and all.

So the glue was flammable that caused the fire? Wow!ralph wrote:...Some guy was working with glue on his boat and a spark set off a fire that burned the whole place down, boats and all.

Re: Needing some Glue advice?
You need glue that is designed for outdoor vinyl which is more tolerant of wet conditions, or preferably marine glue.
Check out HH-66 contact cement for vinyl, which is waterproof and inexpensive.
