Well tonight i'm turfing the sides on my ski. I'm so messed up in the head from the contact cement, and the ******** is pretty tough to get on the ski correctly. Do most of you guys lay the turf over the whole side of the ski like ketsair did, then cut a slice in the middle of the foothold and fold it in from there? This is what I'm going to try next, and if that doesn't work I'm ******** out of luck.

You must use a heat gun and warm it up, it will go anywhere then within reason.

i was using the heat gun. i ripped it at one spot, then at another it bunched up. I tried stuffing it into the hold at first. This time I am not going to do that. I am not worried about seams anymore.

THONG- The doors are open just because of your story buddy!

Do it twice?That's DooDoo
good deal man... when you think about it- its just turf... you want it to look pretty good, but like you said.... you wont be trying to win any shows with it- so functionally you are set... and if it looks pretty good to you--> then to people more than 10' away from your ski it will look great!
 
i had cut mine out from one of my old HT sides and just made everything a lil larger to trim up but i had made a little notch and then just cut or folded as needed around that corner...the holds i cut that turf out and stuffed a square block of turf in them and wrapped those over the sides
