RATS!!! Due to the enormously hot weather and extremely high humidity,
the glue on the waterproof carpet glue isn't curing as planned.
especially due to the high humidity, it's just kinda sitting there. Oh
it's curing OK, but a lot slower than expected.

Heres the stuff we're using:

This is kind of a set back due to other projects we could be doing on
the boat if the carpet was solid.

Oh well....


What did you decide about the seat base. I'd think building one would be pretty simple, if you had
the time. There used to be van conversion shops around which sold table tops, etc, etc. Seems
something like that might make a nice base for the seat, with some reinforcing, and would have
rounded corners. Maybe marine plywood with a coat of polyurethane would work, with appropriate
bracing of course.

Sorry about the glue.
