10point Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I am putting a new floor in my boat and replacing the carpet. I have a new sheet of marine plywood so no glue on the floor but the carpet goes up the side of the boats. Do I need to remove the glue up the sides of the boat. I removed a little bit of tonight and it seems like it would take a really long time to get it all off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeontroller Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Sand the majority of it off, re-glue and stick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I saw a show where the guy did this job... You want to get most of the glue off or at least smooth/flat before glueing the new carpet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 When I did my boat I just used a large scraper to get rid of the lumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I used a wire wheel on a grinder to take mine off when I re-did the carpet in my boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeisfun Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I used this method and it works great ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10point Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I did some reading about heating it up with a heat gun. Since I don't have a heat gun I tried heating it with a torch and it's working pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
