[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 79264, member: 55"] I put mine directly on bare aluminum. It is good to scuff it with a wire brush before hand. I got my aluminum at a salvage rate, due to the fact that it was stored outside for a number of months/years, so it had a slight layer of oxidation that the glue didn't stick to. Scuffed the aluminum with a wire brush on a grinder, and now I couldn't get the carpet off it I wanted to. Instead, the top layer of carpet comes off, and you literally have to pry each individual square inch off the aluminum with a prybar. Basically, what I am saying, is it works just fine. I used the same glue Waterwings used (Henry 663 carpet adhesive from Lowes). [/QUOTE]
