What? I guess I don't know what matting you are talking about.
The ribbed rubber that goes under the miners moss?

I mean if it is, why would you want to glue it down? How would you roll it up and stick it down into a bucket to wash the fine gold out? I guess you could glue it down if you wanted to.:icon_scratch:

On my highbanker the hopper holds it down and then I have a punch plate over it.

I would use 3M. :thumbsup:

I use Barge Cement to glue felt soles to the bottom of my fishing wader boots. It's waterproof and lasts forever.

Ok I get it now. :thumbsup:
Might be a good time to get the new improved matting with the deep ridges if yours is the old style.

DO NOT USE GLUE--THAT MAT WEARS OUT FAST AND YOU'LL GO BLOODY CRAZY TRYING TO REMOVE IT TO REPLACE. Just use the silicone caulking--it lasts as long as the mat and ez to remove too---tons a au 2 u2 -John :headbang:

HI, may I suggest an EM to Keene themselves? They have undoubtedly researched this extensively, and are quite cooperative. However I tend to agree, the matting will have to be replaced someday, sooooo keep this in mind.

I believe it would not matter what kind of glue you use. Find a glue that effectively adheres to polished aluminum and people will be lining up for some. Use silicone, which is what I think Jobe uses. Just keep the shovel tip away or it will be time to re-glue. TTC
