[QUOTE="tfizzle172, post: 179944, member: 4024"] Millertime, I saw where you posted that you had fabricated your decking then glued the carpet down and poked the edges in with a putty knife. I am trying to figure out how to make the carpet look clean and was not sure if that is how most people do it? Or do they carpet the wood first, then screw it down to the seats and what not. For example, On your front deck below....the hatch lids I assume were carpeted first then attached....but the main deck was carpteted after you screwed it down to the boat? How did you do that inside area where the trolling motor pedal goes? Also, on your back deck, will you just push the carpet edges in around the edges? If so, do you use contact cement on it and push it up under? I want that clean look, just too dumb to figure it out i guess! [/QUOTE]
