This is the fourth time I've repaired the backing on marine carpets. I was the last one of my friends to give in and do it. We've used a mix of different products to do the repairs.
The oldest repair I've helped with is 4 years old. We used Spray on Plastidip. It's still holding up well.
The second 2 we used Durabak. It holds up really well the only downside is that it has become a little stiff after 2 years.
This time I used the fiber lock. Similar to the plastidip. The downside to the plastidip process was the horrible smell from all of the solvents and chemicals in it. It took a week to fully gas out.
