Carpeting Aluminum Deck

[fishwithmitch]

I would like to replace the carpet on the deck floor of my Sea Nymph Great Lakes Special. Has anyone ever re-carpeted the aluminum floor? and if so how difficult is it to remove the carpeting / glue? any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

That is great that your deck is aluminum. My GLS was plywood and rotten when I redid it. Good luck with the removal!

There is a soulution you can buy that will help. Its made for tile removal, you will have to see if it will work in your application, but I believe it will becasue the glues are very similar. You pour it on, or in the case of tiles you mop it in, and it seeps in and breaks down the tention of the glue. You can mop it onto the carpet soaking the carpet being careful not to get it everywhere and I will be the next day it will come right out without much problem.
