It appears to NOT have a felt backing, and looking at it I suppose it has a backing of some sort (paper?). It is a 2007 Scamper Kodiak, and I had to peel up the flooring by the door to replace some extensive rot due to a leak. All fixed now. The vinyl was not originally glued down, but now it has to be glued because it wants to roll up. Home Depot doesn't carry Henry 356, you have to order it. Roberts also makes a "multipurpose" adhesive which they do carry. I'll try to find the Henry stuff somewhere local, and if not, do an ingredients comparison between the two to see if they are the same stuff.
Most of the adhesives sold at the big box stores in the "general purpose" category are nearly all the same. The only specialty adhesives are those for outdoor use or specified by a particular mfg. Roberts has been in the flooring business forever. Unless they have been counting too many beans, their adhesive should work well.
I believe "felt backed" is a catch-all term for a fiber backing.
