Gluing vinyl to doghouse

[Chinook Chaser]

Looking to put some marine flooring on the wood doghouse of my Islander. What type of adhesive should I use to glue it down?

When looking into flooring for my boat, i noticed the manufacturers have recommendations for adhesives. They have different types for wood and alum.

Ditto. I used nautolex 88 ( roll on ) for my nautolex vinyl. Has held up great for 2 seasons on my floor.

I second the nautolex 88. It has held up really well on my floor. I tried to use some 3M spray adhesive to get the vinyl to stick on the sides by the gunwales where theres a pocket to store things. The next week the vinyl fell down. Used nautolex 88 on it and it has held great

Thanks for the info. My flooring and adhesive have arrived. I had no idea the flooring would be so stiff it doesn't wrap around the doghouse well. I have been fighting for the best thing to do with this doghouse and should have asked here to begin with. I first used truck bed-liner, lasted two seasons looked like ****. Next was exterior paint, well those scales stick to that paint and it does not last, two seasons later I am trying something new again. Any suggestions would be great, I would like the next thing I use to last. Do not want to use carpet but it may be the best solution. Not sure about the vinyl so looking for ideas suggestions before I cut the vinyl and can not return it.  Thanks.

Use a heat gun where you need to bend around corners. CAREFULLY!
