Help or Tips for Turfing FootHolds

[Mackattack]

So this is about to go down since I modified my footholds. Is there a good way to mold the turf to foothold? Tape? Clamps? Just looking for any suggestions.....this is my first time ever turfing lol..... thanks guys!!

Those will be easy, not any real severe bends. As long as you let the contact cement tack up it'll mold to the surface quite easily. No need for clamps, tape, etc. Heat gun helps around bends.

Awesome so happy to hear, I just made the cuts and will be cementing tomorrow because turf is pretty rigid so I was worried about it nor forming!!

Preheat (heat gun) and mold to form the turf to the hold.Heat the turf and start forming the material (that's the point where it will tear),then let it cool off some and then start the process again,till you get the form you want.Don't be surprised if it tears.Then you will be able to glue them.It took me 3 attempts on Krash holds to get them done.
Drinking beer will help too.... Heat,mold,cool,drink. In that order

use the beer trick when glued. Spread Glue, Drink a Beer. Touch glued areas, Drink a Beer. If still sticky, drink another beer. Apply.

Is there enough upward adjustment/room in those holds to add foam underpad first ? Like 5mil underpad then the turf so it's a little more plush when you kick in

Haha this is why I call beer " primer timers". Coat of primer drink a beer, another coat of primer drink another beer. This professional technique gives optimal flash times between coats and I now use it for letting contact cement tack up before installing. In colder climates it is sometimes necessary to switch from 12oz to tallboys.

They came out pretty good, didn’t need a lot of heat to mold them. After the cement was ready I just hit the back of the turf with a heat gun until it was playable....
