I am about to try to put down hydro turf in my boat. Currently the floor has some type of paint mixed with sand making it a somewhat "non-skid" surface. Any tips on getting this removed to where I can throw down some hydro turf?

I think some are putting it on top.

Just use contact cement and put the turf on top.

Clean it good with acetone. Then stick.

I just hit it with sander knocked gloss off and stuck it on top with weldwood cement no problems yet

So y'all aren't using super 90 spray at all, just contact cement? What kind y'all using?

With contact cement, you're just wasting your money buying spray glue. You dont need anything else.

Whatever they sell at home depot. Dap i think.

Gotcha, any tips from people that have gone this route as far as application, etc?

I used the red weldwood contact cement on my last two boats. Just let it dry/get tacky and stick. Be careful once it stick it stuck

Yea, weldwood, thats it. Like he said, you need to coat both the boat and the turf, then pretty much let it dry before you lay it down. And be careful, it is STUCK once you lay it down.

What did yall use to apply? Paintbrush?

Paint brush in the corners and roller for the majority.

Don't put too much on it or it will stretch it when it dries. Just put a thin coat on the boat and the turf, let it tack, then stick it. And yes once its stuck its there.

How big of a can of that weldwood cement for a 1754 boat?

I would just pick up a gal. It's not that expensive.

The gel is less messy but doesn't go quiet as far.

A gallon will do, you will have some left over.
