SeaDek, good, bad and ugly


I just finished the recarpeting project and moved on to the foam flooring (Amazon) for the dinette. Learned a lot.

It cuts easily, get a great straight edge. I used a 1/2” 4’ long of aluminum angle iron.

I ripped the old carpet up and used it as a template. I did leave an extra inch on each edge that I trimmed later.

Measure 6 times, cut once. ya can;t make it bigger, only smaller when you cut

TAKE your time and ensure the lines are lined up! PATIENCE!

The glue that comes on it in plain english S U C K $! I used 3M spray and then graduated to Weldwood contact cements.

I cut the entire piec from the template around the edges. Then placed the access hatch on the foam and cut it.

Take a day and unroll it, put weight on it to get it flat as possible! That makes placing it easier.

Once it is down, it is DOWN! No second chances!

Lately, to hide any sins, I painted teh edges of the hatch with paint the same color of the Seadek! It looks like it is right to the edge!

Attached are a few photos, So, all new carpet and new dinett flooring. NEXT is the Galley! Not sure if I am going to refinish the parquet or use same foam there. We shall see!
