Hi Ron, and a warm welcome to the forum. It's great to have another Rover 45 owner on board, as we all like to learn new things and tinker here.

I guess you are talking about the cork itself, it does not matter which side is glued, the most important thing is to remove all traces of the old adhesive to achieve a clean surface before the new glue is applied.

Once again Ron,

to OutdoorKing.
