[QUOTE="sixshootertexan, post: 196815, member: 4246"] Installed the Decko Dot vinyl flooring on the bench seats. I used indoor/outdoor carpet glue. I was not pleased with the turn out. The first bench I did I used the smallest notched trowel I could find and it was way to thick. This vinyl telegraphs anything that is under it. The first side of the bench I tried rolling it smooth but ended up on the second half just pulling it up and raking as much as I could off. I used a short piece of PVC pipe as a rolling pin until I got it all squeezed out from under the vinyl. The second bench which is the front one I used a throw away paint brush. You have to apply it thick enough that it will not dry before you lay down the vinyl but not to thick to cause telegraphing. I'm pleased with how that turned out. More than 24 hours later it still has not dried completely. The label does say 24 - 48 hour cure time. All the edges that I have rolled over have come undone while I was at work today. Going to get a spray can of contact cement to do the edges. [/QUOTE]
