Carpet Glue

I made a boneheaded mistake. I spilled some gas while filling my 10 gal saddle tank. The gas deterioted the carpet glue and now it needs to be repaired. Seems like a job I can do myself. What kind of adhesive to use and should I pull up the entire piece of carpet and clean the fiberglass and reglue or just reglue the area that is messed up?Aaron

We suggest DAP Weldwood from Home Depot or Lowes. You can use Formica brand contact cement also. BCB

I have made the same mistake while refueling. Carpet comes loose on inside of fender, but I left it alone and carpet glue took hold again after gas dried/evaporated

Newer boats the carpet glue may re-stick once dried pending no oil is in the gas. Older boats it will not and the glues DAP, Formica or whatever good contact glue you can get in small quantities at the local hardware gettin place you frequent.

Ive heard of people using like some sort of hypodermic needle with glue in and shooting it under the carpet.

Yep, use one of those cajun injector setups, and clean the glue out quickly and it can be used multiple times.

DAP contact cement works very well. Ive done 3 boats over the years with it, & just finished my 01 P3 a few months ago!

From an older BCB reply..”We suggest you go to Home Depot and purchase DAP Weldwood brush grade contact cement, Formica brand brush grade or another variant is made by 3M. “
