SeaDek Adhesive - re-attaching to non-skid

Any glue advice on re-attaching SeaDek pads to non-skid once the self-adhesive begins to fail? I've got several pieces of SeaDek that still look great after several years, but are coming loose. I tried 3M Super 77 spray contact adhesive on advice here, but it is not very strong and eventually just came loose again. Other than a permanent "Gorilla Glue" solution, anyone have a good semi-permanent adhesive for this product?

Re: SeaDek Adhesive - re-attaching to non-skid

Trouble is that you are looking for contradictory adhesive characteristics - you don't want it to peel, but you want to be able to peel it. Consider deciding which is more important. Spray adhesive is rubber in a volatile solvent, and will peel eventually on its own in that application, or when you want it to. Epoxy will not peel in any case, and will have to be sanded off. Gorilla Glue may be a compromise, and so might be acrylic (airplane cement).
