Before you put on the next side piece can you take a picture of it laid out flat?
Yeah sure. It's absolutely nothing special though. Just a huge ass piece with a ton of excess and I do all the trimming later. Just make sure you use a heat gun to get the turf to conform to the wierd shaped corner towards the front of the tray on the top of the gunwales. Make sense? I'll take a pic later.
I don't cut a seam ahead of time either to fold it over. Basically, I start towards the front of the tray down, leaving some kinda material between the turf and the footholds/rear part of the gunwales so the turf doesn't stick and mess me up. I work my way back to the footholds but don't wrap it around the gunwales yet!! I work my way down the footholds until I reach the end of the hump, and then I take the turf that's at the rear and bend it around so it it touches together at the top of the gunwales. Then you give it some heat to make sure where it touched is fully secured. Then you keep on using heat to bend and get everything into the holds and keep on trimming to make sure you don't get any creases. It's kinda hard to explain, maybe I should make a video? lol. But on the top of the gunwales where the turf touches together, I trim it with a razor blade, then blend it nicely with the dremel and it works super good..

I thought the Dells would have motivated you to get her finished up!
It did!!! That's why I went out and bought stuff today, and someone local has some reed cages for me since my sealing surfaces got messed up by the piston shrapnel.. So that was a throwback a little bit. Alright man, I'm gonna find my SD card and try to make a video of some turfing.

Use a little oil on the rubber plug. I broke down and bought the tool from Ebay, makes it soooo much easier!!

How careful do you have to be with that plastic piece?

These holds are gonna be like kicking into heaven!! Pad done, just gotta blend it in the rear now so the turf sits nicely.

Hey what kind of drill bit are using? I tried a sandpaper flapper looking bit but it doesn't work very well.
