From: FLYaDIVE Ron: WHY would you want to GLUE the mat in place? ! ! ! What happens when you get it wet and want to pull it out to dry. What happens when you spill your coffee all over the mat? What happens when you take up a friend for a flight and they UP-CHUCK all over it? What happens when you wear out the mat and want to replace it? I know what happens - You curse like a sailor trying to remove the mat and the glue. Why not use Heavy Duty PLASTIC Velcro - We use it hear at work and it is awesome! The trick is: CLEAN the area well - MEK - Acetone - Alcohol Install it and DO NOT use it for 24 to 48 Hours. The adhesive takes a while to take set. Use two pieces at each corner forming a ' L'. This holds in both the X & Y axis. You then can Roll - Loop - And CLEAN very easy.

Hi, An alternative to carpet for the heel plate channel is 6 in. wide stainless steel tape. This is a very thin self-adhesive tape. The weight is next to nothing. The tape is almost indestructible, and heels cannot possibly do damage. Aft of the channel is a nonflammable carpet without glue or attachment. The carpet cannot move since it is held in place by the channel and spar. BTW, I have found the stainless steel tape to be useful in other spots, for example, for shielding rubber hoses near exhaust pipes. Happy flying, Klaus ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 02:57:16 PM PST US Subject: Zenith-List: Re: glue for rubber floor mat?

Happy flying, Klaus (http://www.utdallas.edu/%7Eklaus) Thin Stainless sheeting is a pretty good conductor of heat, so it would not protect rubber hoses very well if it was in contact or very close.That's why it is recommended to use thermal-insulated hose covers where heat may cause problems > [b] Cheers T87 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=314163#314163 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
