Glue, what to use?

Any advice on glue? I bought a new 3-horse slant trailer a couple weeks ago. I got a deal on the rubber kick mats, but I have to install them my self. I tried the aerosol glue first, no luck. Tried some contact cement that you apply with a paint brush yesterday, no luck. I used self-drilling/taping screws, which worked great, but would like the glue to hold the mats tight to the walls between the studs! Thanks for your help.

maybe you might want to try some double sided 3m automotive adhesive tape, that is used to hold body side moldings on...just a thought

3M 5200 Marine Sealant

This a polyurethane sealant that comes in a caulk tube and will stick just about anything to just about anything else. Don't use it to glue something that you might want to take apart.

You can get 5200 from most marine hardware stores or from Jamestown Distributors

If contact cement like Weldwood was used and it doesn't work, sounds to me as though the surfaces weren't cleaned of dust and loose stuff. On my 4-horse I had a similar problem until both the mats and the walls were washed, dried and wiped down with acetone or MEK. Then I brushed and rolled on the contact cement, let it tack-up and then carefully set the mats in place. Just like laying on a counter top. After three years of use and may miles I've had to touchup one top corner where a good fit wasn't.

Sounds like there was still mold release compound on the rubber before the contact cement was originally applied.

Floor wood?

Take the pads back and get a cattle panel. Staple it to the floor with 1.5" fencing staples. Works great and is lighter than rubber mats. Lets your floor breathe.

Have you tried the adhesive used for putting down linoleum floors with? This should hold it down quite well.
