[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 487576, member: 15636"] Both can be done, really depends on how the floor is affixed and/or if you can lift an egde up to tuck it down and around. If staples are used, they should be Monel or stainless steel and not plain steel. If you're not removing the floor you can simple glue the floor to the panel and then 'tuck' the edges down into the hull between the bulkheads and the floor edge. Just tuck a long edge, if you only tuck 3/4" or less, that can 'curl' after years and years of use and sun exposure. When I used the tuck method, I tucked or folder over a couple inches, then pinched it down between the ribs and floor, or similar manner. Even if only pinched in a few spots it worked well! One can also use special stainless steel 'finish washers', see here on this post: [color=#4000FF]https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?p=386061[/color] . [b][i]NOTE [/i][/b]you use 2 at each screw! The 1st one holds the material down and the 2nd one 'spins' on top of the 1st one as you tighten it down, so that the washer against the material doesn't rip or tear it. I actually have some and could sell you some cheap ... as I'll never use them again ... [/QUOTE]
