Glue for SeaDek?

[LindMark]

What is the best glue to use to put back down SeaDek that is starting to come up?

[Kmayotte]

Same question. Also any tips on sea deck that has bubbled up in the middle (swim platform)?

I am not sure what to say on the glue...perhaps a spray glue? I know Gorilla glue is really good and they have all kinds at Wal-Mart you can chose from. I know the original adhesive that SeaDeck uses is 3M.
On bubbles tho, they are caused by air pockets. Carefully use a new razor blade, pop the bubble at very middle and then work the air out. May wanna put a little heat to it with hair dryer or something to ensure it sticks well too and make sure its dry before doing it. Should take care of that issue quick.

I am gonna try swetsuit adhesive on mine and carefully tape off the edges.

I had that issue with mine as well. I used an air pump needle like what you use for a basketball. I poked it through the sea deck and pressed it back down. This allowed the air to escape easily. It stuck down just as it should and you can't even tell that I poked a hole in it. I poked the hole at the 90 degree angle where the brown and black meet so it would be less visible. Good luck.

Anyone have thoughts? What glue have you used to glue down seadek that has lost stickiness?

[Evening Shade]

I would think contact cement would work well.

Got this back. Does it seem reasonable? Just replaces all the pieces that have a few inches coming up? Doesn't make sense to me...

"While SeaDek is applied with a 3M PSA, we do not recommend any type of third party adhesive to attempt to re-stick SeaDek. Our PSA is specially formulated for our application and is tested on gel coat surfaces. We cannot guarantee that a third party adhesive would not damage your boat's fiberglass or would be a long term fix for a section coming up. The best solution would be to reorder the pad you are having issues with. "

I got a double sided sheet of 3M PSA adhesive to fix some seadek I had loose and works great.

Yep, me too. Worked perfect. Simply has to be clean and dry.

We used spray adhesive on a piece last month. I don't know what brand.

Some of my swimdeck Seadeck is peeking up. Looking to see what adhesive to use to re attach it.

It's unlikely that SeaDek had 3M engineer a completely new Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA). So I would use this spray adhesive from 3M as it is likely to be the identical formula. Spray into a paper cup and apply with a small brush for small repairs or for larger areas mask off and spray directly.
Always clean the area to be repaired with acetone as recommended by SeaDek.
