[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 427421, member: 13599"] DPI - welcome aboard. you have a great start !! one of the biggest differences between furniture and boat decks is that the boat is exposed to some pretty harsh elements. the wood must be preserved and waterproofed appropriately prior to covering. if the existing adhesive is like Weldwood Contact Cement, I would leave the old adhesive (if it is sound) and just glue over it. It could be outdoor carpet adhesive - who knows. if you want to try the removers - do the test patches first and proceed from there. on flat smooth surfaces, some heat from a high power heat gun and scraper may work fine. how is that foam ? nice and dry and solid? or wet and soggy like an old mater samich.
