Diamond plate on trailers

[flying07]

Hi all. . . . curious if anyone knows what Boatmate (or other makers) use to attach diamond plate to their trailers? an adhesive of some sort. . . . got a powdercoated trailer that needs a little 'sprucing' with some plating like my old Ally trailer. . . thanks!

My 1991 T1 Trailer uses pop rivets.

Thanks, yeah, seen some like that. Mine had no rivets, just some 'mystery' sticky behind the plating. . . hmmm. . . haha

VHB double side acrlic adhesive and its there forever

When I decked my entire trailer I used a combination of 3M double sided tape (the stuff they use for auto trim) and stainless rivets. If you're doing accents or steps the 3M tape is likely more then enough.

I replaced all of my carpeted covered wood with diamond plate and I used button head stainless fasteners
