Can anyone suggest a marine/outdoor carpet adhesive that isn't too hard to find here in Canada (Ontario)?

Most of the ones at can tire / rona / home depot are the newer style, low VOC, eco ones, and I'm worried they won't hold up over time..

This might get left out in the rain every once in a while, and the boat is used in near freezing temps once in a while too.

I found some Roberts R6040 solvent based adhesive at a local carpet store but it had passed its shelf life by 3 years so I left it behind.

So any recommendations? Does the modern low VOC big box store outdoor carpet adhesive hold up well over time?

Find a commercial carpet supplier in your area that sell to trades.
They'll fix you up

I like to leave to carpet floating And just hold it in with some snaps like the boat tops. Nice to let it air out once and a while.

I used contact cement in my AE. sparingly lol seems to hold up well.

I used indoor/outdoor carpet adhesive from home hardware...worked great.

I'll never put carpet in a boat again!!
If she says it's hard on the knees give her a life jacket or a rolled up towel!!

I know.... had a hard time putting it in the AE after the restoration wanted to go gel with silisand and a splash pattern , Maybe next time lol
