Shoe glue. Works on anything, glued the liner on the bed of my truck 3 years ago and still rock solid.

Gorilla glue is another good one. The only thing about using that is it expands as it dries so use some c-clamps on the matting to keep it from bulging.

Hi Guys, I use Ados F2 glue. It comes in a spray can. Apply a thin coat to both the back of the rubber mat & the aluminium surface of the sluice box where you want to apply it. I cut out a cardboard templete the size of the matting to lay over the area of the sluice box so I make a nice neat job with no over spray. Let the two surfaces tack dry ( touchable with just a slight stick to the fingers) then VERY CAREFULLY lay the rubber matting onto the aluminium surface. It is a contact glue so you only get the one shot at it.
I make these box's to sell & I have used my one for years & it has never showen signs of lifting off.

I ended up using GE door/window silicone and it works great. I ve left my sluice out in the sun for weeks and its yet to crack or lift up...
