bassboy1 said:How do you like the aluminum angle on the corners? My carpet is p***ing me off, so I have thought about doing something like that around all my hatch lids and corners, since I use aluminum and can't staple in to it (the glue, and corners/seams don't make good working combinations).
That is what I did. Installing it wasn't as much of the problem as was the end result. Also, I can't staple into aluminum, and the spacing I left didn't allow a wrap onto the bottom. (On the next boat, the carpet will wrap all the way around, then the panel that goes on the bottom will be riveted on, on top of the carpet wrap)SlimeTime said:bb- next time you're carpeting a lid, try this. Just glue the carpet to the top of the lid, don't worry about the edges, or even apply any adhesive to them. Let it dry. Then apply adhesive to the edges & whatever width you want to wrap it onto the bottom, go ahead & staple, even if it's just until the adhesive dries. It's easier (at least for me) and seems to work better since you're not fighting everything at once, plus it'll reduce the odds that you'll get adhesive on the carpet.
