I just ordered some hydroturf and under mat for my bowfishing boat. Do y'all have any tips or hints that will help me from royaly screwing up this $300 investment during installation? Thanks

Take your time. And remember that it will stretch some as you lay it down. At least a 1/4".

Not sure which one you purchased the 3M peel and stick or the kind you have to glue down. If you got the kind you have to glue yourself and stick down. glue both surfaces well and let them dry completely. Cut yourself a piece of plastic long enough to cover the working area and after your working area is completely dry lay the plastic over it and then your sheet of hydroturf. When you get the turf lined up where you want it slowly pull out the plastic and press down on the turf. Again like stated this stuff will shrink make it fit very tight so that it will shrink up and not leave a wide gap.

Post some pictures when you are finished

Not sure what HT you used that shrank. Every piece I layed expanded. If you use the weldwood glue as suggested you can roll it up and unroll as you Kay it down. The glue only sticks to other objects that have glue on it.

As poker 1 said make sure you get some help.

don't put the underpad all the way to the edge of turf stop it atleast 1" so that the turf overlaps and glues down to the deck this will help from it peeling up
use dollrods in between so you can keep sheet from stickin until your you got it where you want it the glue only sticks to itself this way you can handle the sheets better. a install tip from camo-toad.com any other question call Richard 225-802-8579 an they could have saved you on $300

Like mentioned before. Take your time, measure twice cut once, keep in mind this will expand a little. And if you are usin dda kind dat needs to be glued down, I recommend gluin it down wit contact cement. But becareful because once you put it down you ain't gettin it back. You can stick a cat's ass to a door knob wit dat stuff.
