 Hydroturf adhesive I just got some hydroturf and it came with some kind of 3m backing. How well does that work? If it dont work good what do I need to get to do the job right?

Re: Hydroturf adhesive Seems to work from what folks have said. I believe some have also spayed some extra 3M glue on to make sure it would stay.

Re: Hydroturf adhesive If you do a search you will find quite a lot of information about installing hydro-turf.

Re: Hydroturf adhesive skip the adhesive backing and buy the spray cans of 3M Spray 90. They are expensive $12-15 and you will need about 1 per sheet of hydroturf.

Re: Hydroturf adhesive I think you can either buy it with the adhesive ( a LOT more expensive) backing already on there OR you buy it without adhesive and put your own of some sort-contact cement or as BN said get the Spray...
Not sure you can add the spray if you already have the adhesive on there, but maybe.... guess it won't hurt...

Re: Hydroturf adhesive Use the 3M spray along with the 3M backing on the turf and it wont go anywhere.

Re: Hydroturf adhesive Why would you pay so much extra for the adhesive backing if you still have to use glue? Seems like a waste of money. A gallon of contact cement is 25 bucks and should be enough for the whole boat. Isn't the backing like 20 bucks extra per sheet? And then the glue is another 15 bucks a can per sheet?

Re: Hydroturf adhesive Be sure you let the 3M 90 set up for at least 5 minutes before applying the HT. Also, be liberal with it (the 3M).
