Keep in mind that you'd like to seal the panels to the floor so that water can't even get under them, even if the floor does get wet. I wouldn't think using POR15 as an adhesive would be a good idea. Good to seal the pan, just not good to use as glue to stick padding to. My use of it shows that it get's too brittle after curing to be a good adhesive. I would think you would want something more flexible. If the pan is properly prepped for POR15, then let the POR15 cure, then use tradditional adhesive. That should be a better combo. I always wondered if bedliner would work the way you are thinking of using POR15 as an adhesive... Thicker, more flexible... but probably more of a pain to install and more expensive than necessary. ;) Big.Al Houston ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
