Which adhesive is best? - roadappels - 03-07-2014

If I am going to lay a rubber coin floor over plywood floor in a trailer which adhesive would you all recommend to put down first? I'm thinking of doing a little trailer improvement this summer and I am a rank amateur when it comes to DIY...Your opinions and experience are greatly appreciated!

Rubber tiles come in 18x18 inches. I use Roppe which is based in Fostoria, Ohio. On small areas, I use contact cement. You can do a large area and use a paint roller.

If the plywood is bare I'm wondering if you should put a coat of sealer or something on it before gluing the floor down. ????

I did a job that the contractor put some sealer down. I did not know this. The adhesive was not compatible with the floor and material had bubbles all over the place.
