PSA vs glueing turf

[awinquist]

Anyone use the hydroturf with the adhesive backing instead of using contact cement? What's the lifespan compared to glueing? Was also looking at the blacktip mats for a Superjet, are they any good?

I have a roll of the 3m pre-stick stuff for doing parts and just from the vibration it is coming off.. would never use it to do a tray

For flat surfaces like sit downs it’s great.

For compound curves like on standups you want to use the regular turf without adhesive and use WeldWood red contact adhesive.

The Black Tip stuff is hard and sucks.

I have always used contact cement as well, just have a superjet that needs doing and was curious. Thanks guys!

I was told buy a couple different guys the turf with the adhesive never holds up long.

Alrighty then.Let me help out here.Part of what l do for a living is with adhesives.So the psa works fine as long as you use an adhesive promoter.Clean with rubbing alcohol,spray promoter,let dry for a few minutes,and then apply the turf with psa.lt will work fine.A heat glue can be used to mold the turf around curves.
But Weldwood is the preferred and accepted way to glue mats down.

What do u recommend for removal of the glue /old vinyl graphics/stickers? Different since it is on gelcoat?

 

[Sanoman]

Acetone,but always test a small spot before proceeding

Unless it’s the stock Yamaha stickers then lots of blood, sweat, tears and beer.

3M decal removal wheel works well if you follow the instructions.

The Black Tip brand matting is junk, don't bother with it. Use Hydro Turf and Weld Wood contact adhesive.

What he said ^^^ In my experience the PSA sticks to the hull just fine but separates from the turf itself. It's good for battery pads and furniture feet.
