How should the surface of the wood floor be prepared prior to re-carpeting
using Marine grade 16 oz , UV stabilized rubber backed carpet and water based outdoor carpet adhesive. The floor is a mix of fiberglass patch repairs
and bare wood. No soft spots. Wood floor has already been wire wheeled to remove old carpet remains.
Does the entire floor need to be treated/sealed prior to use of the carpet adhesive or is the carpet adhesive and rubber backed carpet good enough to keep the floor from getting too wet ?
If adhesive and carpet are not enough protection, what products need to be used and where can they be purchased ? trying to keep this affordable too.
