You want a high quality seam-sealer / adhesive like Sikaflex. Plenty on ebay and your local bodyshop suppliers will keep it.

I coated the mating surfaces of the chassis and new floors with Duralac since my floors appear to have suffered from differential metal corrosion, then seam-sealed all the inner joins once all the new rivets were in. My floors are now totally waterproof.

Duralac only comes in 1 litre tins, so if you want some, PM me and i'll send you my part used tin. Just send it back when you've finished.

Both. Seats and carpets out. Remove floor from underneath.

Is that a sheet form of conductive mating. Its funny as I'm sure we use that when bolting down our very expensive equipments to the payload satellites. lol
