one thing that may help people get an even layer of adhesive... it mentions to apply with a 1/16" notched trowel. the purpose of the notched trowel is to make it easier to lay down the correct amount in an even, consistent layer so you don't get any clumping under the carpet or bleeding thru.
yep, then your carpet doesnt soak it up until its rock hard in spots,
New drinking game, every time he says "product" take a shot
I was just thinking to myself, "For the love of god, say glue!"
Use any contact glue,use masking tape to mark holeson hinge side use 3 in.brush for glue paint lid an carpet let get tackey an carpet make sure carpet nap is running in right direction geter done
these carpet glues menards offers is fine to a point, 3-m tube glue is just as expensive and works great, we zig zagged glue worked great, its a personal touch if u dont seal the wood or have metal to glue , i perfer the 3-m glue
ive noticed that you have a notch trowel on the counter looks to me that you have a 3/8 notch that's why you have it seeping through the carpet , that's because it leaving way to much glue on it .... lol ... your best bet is to use a 1/16 notch it will leave an even coat unlike the marjan trowel your using . if you let the glue set and get tacky you will not need clamps to hold it ......
George Lockwood Very good advice.
Dude... they have rollers just for this that are dirt cheap and make everything easier.
is that the actual 20oz carpet? it looks way heavier than that?
🤔 was this a video on how to incorrectly put carpet on a lid. If one of my employees done it like this they would be fired on the spot.
LMR Knoxville He had enough PRODUCT on it to do 4 lids. He should have used a 1/8 inch trowel to get all the excess Glue off of his lid. plus needed more clamps on it too. I feel for the next man that has to pull it off.. what a mess.
Beautiful job in the process of removing old carpet and replacing with new. Some of the carpet is over marine board, is it best to treat the wood prior to carpet and if so what do I use. Thanks Northwoods Ron
question....I have 2 support boards for the transom seats and I will be sanding, sealing with fiberglass and resin, glue on carpet and final is add top and side molding. Now, I saw 96" lengths of angle carpet molding which will work but I'm not sure how to bend the corners (rounded on my boards) using the stainless steel molding. Do I do a notch? Head up the molding with a heat gun? What is the best way to bend the molding around the outside of my boards?????
I just used a cheap dollar store paint brush and put it on the carpet, but this might work better
Curious. Is the trowel laying on the table throughout the video what you're referring to when you mentioned that the 1/16" notched trowel "left too much product on the panel"?
+Aaron Lyons Yes
Ah. I see.
I'm not trying to be a jerk in any way, but the trowel you have laying out there on the table looks like either a 3/8" or 1/2" notch trowel. If you google "1/16 notch trowel" images, you will see that there that the two are vastly different. 1/16" is the distance between the teeth down the length of the trowel. It will lay down a nice, even, thin, and rollable coat. Again, not trying to be a smart allec, just trying to help. If you did; try applying adhesive with the trowel you have displayed, I hear what you mean. Holy crap, that'd be a mess.

you can use a 1/16th vinyl flooring trowel to spread the adhesive properly also
yaaa..its a 3/8 by 1/4 ...im a tile guy
what oz carpet did you use
The hard part I am dealing with is getting the locking lid handles that attach to the seal and nut to match up. With the new thicker 16oz carpet, there is not any thread to reach out and catch the nut even after tapping, pressing both sides together. The seals are thick and allow no exposed thread. I will have to melt/sand them to thin them down.
You may have to modify things according to your situation. I had no problem with mine. What type of locks are you installing?
AnglingAuthority.com
They are the four piece locking pull handle. The 2.5" length handle body, thin gasket, half inch thick-2.78" wide hard rubber seal, and locking nut. It is only 1.25" from the top of the handle down to the end of the thread tube. When assembling it the new carpet is thicker and the thread too short to catch the locking nut to pull it together. I need a thinner rubber seal.
perhaps try using a sharp razor to "thin" down the carpet under the lock assembly so its not too thick? Or you could just not put on the rubber seal< but I think the lock assembly will slip then, perhaps a thinner rubber could be cut to replace it?
AnglingAuthority.com
I finally got them right. I had to go round and round the holes with a drill to chew off absolutely all of the new carpet and rough up the edges of the lid hole metal. After that, the handle body snapped down flush and I was able to put on the gasket , seal and nut.
What's best way to remove old carpet and I'm thinking of doing mine in a bed liner style be quicker easier and think it will last longer
Acetone will remove it very easily except for vertical surfaces. For those, use Goof Off gel and let it sit 3-5 minutes.
This should be removed. Bad way to install and it says directly on their website this adhesive is to NOT be used on aluminum or fiberglass!
Hey Grant, great instructional video. What material is the lid made of, is it aluminium or normal sheet metal and what is the material thickness?....what are the lid´s dimensions : length, width and height?
Thanks Carlos - the lid was aluminum - was roughly 3/8" . The dimensions will vary by boat and I did all my lids. They vary depending on which lid you're talking about. I'd say roughly between 48'x23' and 36'x36'. The live-well lids were 16'x16'. The height for all the lids was the same- 1 3/4 inches
Carlos Perpétuo I just started carpeting the hatch lids on my boat and I used a paint roller instead of a trowel. 1000x easier
1 quart of carpet adhesive for $5 did my 12' john boat
Can i use dry soapy water?
Does glue come with order?
Is the glue pliable enough to use a cheap paint brush to apply glue?
No - I recommend a 2" drywall compound spatula, or something similar to what I used in the video.
Was curious about your thoughts on that glue at this point in time? How has it held up? I will be recarpeting my 20'6' Astro this spring and have been looking for a reliable glue.
I installed it about 8 months ago. So far so good..
DAP landeau top and trim adhesive from Rochford supply. comes in gallons, spray on contact cement high temp and takes so much less time. Professionals use this stuff every day for all upholstery needs, trowel glue is for diy hacks.
What carpet is this? Either name or serial number
Damn man what are you making a cake haha
slowest and not a good "product" use DAP bandeau top and train high temp contact adhesive. sprays on and sticks the best. cuts time to a tenth of what your doing, no clamping and no bs. cant believe people do this, I have had an upholstery business for 12 years and only use this contact cement for everything!!!!! DIY blunders....
sewkingwet can you explain the process and everything u use
Wait till he has to try to get that stuff off
Wrong adhesive for metal. That is for wood only.
You did a lousy job ! You paid no attention to which way the grain of the carpet was running.
Is there a part 3??
No - just 2
Oh. Ok.
There is another way to do this too.
Those corners were not done correctly
20 oz.
bassboatseats.com I meant
Just call it glue please
Good video but you babbel way too much
Okay this makes me cringe, for one what made me click on this video was the fact in the picture he has the carpet direction going the wrong way, it should all be going the same direction or it will look like two different colors.
Also I would never use a trowel or brush on contact adhesive, you can never get a good even coating and it is hard to put on the lid and the carpet (like a contact adhesive is supposed to be) I always use a spray glue out of a paint gun. The glue is more expensive but it makes for a better product and a lot faster process (I could have wrapped every lid in that boat in the time it took for that one lid to be ready)
Just made me smh...
Thanks for the comment. I laid the carpet with the fiber direction going the same way. Idk why the photo looks goofy... it looks totally fine when I look at it in normal light. As for trowling on the glue, I used what I had available. Spraying it on sounds like a good idea if you have the means to do so- definitely a plus if you are doing this.
AnglingAuthority.com i can understand that, but for future reference you can go to any hardware store and pick up a gravity fed paint gun for about 40 to 50 dollars. As far as the glue, I use welwood spray grade contact adhesive, it is pretty pricey per gallon but well worth it in my opinion. You’ll only use about 1 to 1 and a half gallons for a full boat.
@@paintballerj5575 Those are some good suggestions. Hope guys that read your comment take your advice. I will too if I do a boat again!
Rookie. Trowel on glue id junk, templates are lame and one rear lid has the grain going the wrong way. I can tell by the color of it, and claps, who uses clamps? Get some spray on weld wood, get it warm, get the carpet warm and get the lids warm, like 75-110 degrees. This way it's instant, no clamps.
To much talking
Mickey mouse club house
DO NOT use acetone on fiberglass.
1. that glue sucks, it will crystalize and turn to shit. Birdsong or weld wood sprayable.
2. Rookies use a pre cut piece of carpet.
3. your corners suck, in time the metal will start to show through, like a year or less.
4. A clamp???????REALLY????????? glue like weldwood is INSTANT!!!!!. NO BULLSHIT CLAMPS!!!
4. Look at the thumb nail for the vid, one lid has the grain going the wrong WAY!!!!
Thanks for your comments, although all negative.
1. The glue has held up well. I'm on my second year fishing with it and there are no problems.
2.There is no pre cut carpet used for this project. If someone uses pre cut carpet its up to them. It doesn't mean anything- just that they were able to find a carpet set that matches their boat model- good for them!
3.Thanks for the feedback on the corners. So far your prediction is wrong. I did my best. If you can do better then good for you
4.Yes, a clamp.
4. The thumbnail was a photo taken to show how to template out the sections on a roll of uncut carpet. You are correct, the grain seems to be going the wrong way. I mentioned several times to be sure the grain in the carpet all goes the same way in my article that accompanies this video.
Please post some constructive comments that aid others to do this project. Unhelpful, condescending comments are not appreciated.
BubaJ, please post your video on how to do this project.
Wayyyyy to much product on there ! Lol
