Yes this is going on marine grade plywood. Now that you mention it I
remember a friend of mine in the wood working business said not to use
Thompsons. He recommened a product called Woodlife, it could be painted over
and goes on like water. That was years a few years ago so I guess the
product is still around. Thanks for the help.

What is the main difference between marine grade carpet and

carpet? I have a pontoon and wondering why I couldn't use outdoor carpet.
I
can seem to find more colors in the outdoor carpet than I can in marine
grade. Anyone have any tips for laying down the carpet no matter which
type
I use?
I was thinking about using a couple coats of a water sealer such as
Thompsons, and then apply the carpet over that. Is the best carpet the
kind
with a rubber on the back or a webbing type back and should I glue the
entire piece down or just in areas?
Thanks for the advice,

Don't use Thompson's for anything!! Nothing will stick to it.

Just glue it down using any waterproof glue in areas that will just
keep it tight. Plan on lots of elbow grease if you ever need to
remove it.

BTW, this **is** going over wood, no? I made that assumption due to
the reference to Thompsons.
