[QUOTE="Scott06z71, post: 386536, member: 11993"] So I have had my boat for a year now. I finally started working on my front deck. I decided to leave an open space between my deck and front bench for my tackle box, trolling motor battery and maybe an ice chest just to free up some floor space in the rest of the boat. I still need to cut hatches in the deck for storage. Then I will be ready to seal the wood before putting the carpet on it. My boat is kept in a closed garage when not in use so I'm using Thompson's water sealer on the wood. For glueing the carpet down what should i use? I had a guy tell me to use Loctite spray contact glue adhesive. Can anybody tell me if they have used that for their carpet and if you recommend that or something else? My next question is about the screws used to attach wood to the boat. I'm using Deckmate Coated screws from Home Depot for wood to wood so they won't rust. I was thinking about using them also to screw the wood to the boat. Wood that cause any kind of reaction with the aluminium on the boat? I will attach pictures of what I have so far. It will probably be next week before I can work on it again. [/QUOTE]
