hmmmm.... dont quite know what edges you mean? picture? as long as it sticks and doesnt look like total shiat... I would run it...

superglue. i also ran a bead of superglue all around the turf edge, this keeps water from getting under it, and it dries clear.

I use black RTV Silicone on the edges.

I got this stuff at a auto detailer store call Pro Sol. Its adhesive removal stuff, and it will get that cement off. It took all extra cement off when i returfed my sxi last night! Just put it on there, then get some of this stuff and wipe the edges.

Get it here... 24 bucks and it will last a long time!

I'm filling all the edges of my tray with black silicone. Outdoor quality, UV resistant.

I know it will look different than the turf but I don't care, If its stays put I'll be happy, plus its easy to make silicone edges look good.

gas works too

I was talking about anywhere turf meets the hull or paint. Since you cement both turf and hull, I was worried about going too far with the glue on the hull.
Thanks guys, I got some ideas now.

Gas will prob work good as well. I just always have that stuff around cause of my job, and i use it on everything!

silicone helps to deflect the water when doing rolls, or well, not completing rolls.

if youre worried about contact cement showing after its all done, just take a rag w/ some acetone and wipe down the visible cement. itll come right off.
