hey guys, if we had the snap in marine mat but wanted it fixed with zero snaps is there a way to simply glue them down similar to how the sea deck works?

Thanks! Nick

I’m sure it’s possible but I would be worried about getting all gross underneath it

And removal if you want to replace it could be a PITA.

ok thanks guys, i guess i was thinking it would be the same as the sea deck matting where as nothing would be able to get under it and it wouldn't be removed. ('permanent' install)

There will always be space left unless it’s the surface you are considering is perfectly flat. So water and small stuff can get in, get trapped, and stink up eventually.

The carpeting, alone, absorbs water and needs to be dried out to prevent mildew. Why not bite the bullet and install the SeaDek. You'll be much happier. Christmas is coming.

Marine mat isn't carpet it is like seadeck. I think the problem would be getting it to bond to the back side of the marine mat and then sticking to the floor.
