[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 262561, member: 6657"] The $89 adhesive is water based and isn't as waterproof as the petroleum based adhesives. It also requires being fastened mechanically for 3 or 4 days until it cures, this means stapling or taping the vinyl for the cure time. The Merideck adhesive is also for [b]WOOD ONLY[/b]. The bond is immediate with the contact cement so taping or stapling isn't required... and for $89 you can get 2 gallons of contact cement. I'm sure the Merideck is a very good product, and for the price they charge it should be. Marideck is $17.99 per 1 linear foot, Nautolex is $18.99 for 3 linear feet... do you see the difference?
