Be careful what you wish for…..

Thank you, sir. The trim came from jonnycorners.com

FWIW my floor is floating (except for hatch covers). I'm not sure why you'd need/want to glue this stuff down. It's not going to move around on ya...

What glue did you use to attach the planks to the hatches?

I used product called Robert’s 1407 from Home Depot to do all of my engineered flooring in the cabin portion of boat.

Thank you @Firemedic181

I think this is what Robert’s recommends for the LVP flooring…. None of them is designed for a boat in non climate controlled areas…. Mine is climate controlled April-October but not during the 5 months of winter….

I used a Loctite brand adhesive caulk on mine. Not a glue...technically.

I used Robert's to "glue" engineered hardwood to the hatches six years ago. Also used it on a few stubborn floor pieces that wanted to squeak, the rest floats.

Didn't know about the climate control.

No issues so far, I'm not in a climate controlled building. Temp swings since I installed, have ranged from 10 degrees to the 80's.

Starting to come together. Cut the openings for the hatches this morning. Put a couple pieces of the carpeted trim back on and cleaned up a mess. The router was great for cutting the openings, but made a mess

Now to start building the hatches….
