The pad on my swim deck is starting to come up in the corners. I can see where the adhesive pad was in between the platform and the seadek pad, it's just not holding in the corners any longer.

Any recommendations for an adhesive I can use to get the corners stuck down again?

Subscribed... the non-slip pads on the nose of mine are peeling up as well...

Contact cement.. The original version, not the crappy epa new water based version.. Hard to find but sold on amazon..

HA! The corner of ours is coming up as well on the reg side. :)

I tried the spray adhesive. Didn't work.

I was going to try the contact cement or Gorilla Glue.

I'm not sure what to look for. Anyone know what he's referring to specifically?

Super Yellow by 3M has always done well for gluing rubber. You can find it at the automotive stores mostly for gluing weatherstripping. Be careful as it is yellow and it is hard to get off without a solvent.

LOL, I guess I should have literally searched for original contact cement. I didn't realize it was in the name.

Thanks for that information.

Try calling Seadec about this. I did a couple seasons ago and they just sent me a partial roll of adhesive, which i have repaied a couple spots already.
