Yes, I have used it. It is in my runabout right now, one I rebuilt from
the ground up after it rotted out in my dad's garage. I glassed/epoxied the plywood floor first (stiffens waterproofs and strengthens) so if you're going to put the Deco Dot down, be SURE to: Prefit it EXACTLY Use waterproof adhesive Make sure the floor surface is clean dry and free of defects (unlike carpet, any defects will show through the Deco-Dot because it's thin.) Roll out the adhesive THINLY (you may need 2 coats on bare plywood) and LET IT DRY before you put down the vinyl or the adhesive may never dry completely (especially if you've resined or epoxied the floor beforehand) I have really liked how the stuff works. It's really 'grippy' even when wet. Unsecured stuff in the boat won't slide around. Looks great and is easy to clean (just hose it down and lightly brush if needed.) Hope this helps!

Has anyone had any experiences with this product, good or bad? TIA! Jim |
