Not exactly sure of the specific ones, but the only outdoors products at my local Home Depot and Menards all stated something about not for painted surfaces. I will try one of the ones you suggested. I need the temps to get back in the 60's

The carpet is from menards it is non-backed carpet. Your basic outdoor carpet without a loop to it. Here is a link https://www.menards.com/main/flooring-rugs/carpet-carpet-tiles/indoor-outdoor-carpet/foss-ecofi-status-indoor-outdoor-carpet-12ft-wide/p-1444430624211.htm Most of the adhesives...

I've got the interior panels sealed with the old times formula and painted with oil based paint. What type of carpet glue should I use? How warm does it need to be? Thinking about using contact cement?

I've got most of the boat built, I'm gonna be sealing soon. I'm gonna use the old timers formula, then seal with oil based exterior paint. How long do I wait for the old timers to dry? How many coats of paint to use? What type of glue to use after painting for the carpet?

Next question pool noodles or foam under the plywood?

So if I seal CDX plywood before the carpet it should be ok. Im a good woodworker, I just don't know the ins and outs of plywood.

Can any one tell me what I need, is it called cdx plywood?

Hello, I'm new to the forum and tin boats all together. I have recently purchased a Sears deep v 14 foot boat. I'd like to pull the riveted middle seat and build a floor and a casting platform. I realize I will have to support the middle of the boat with some storage boxes of some sort. I...
