Other Turfing

[Snivilous]

Ok, I have done the basic turfing and everything before, but was wondering for future reference how you would do the sides/foot wells/rails. When ever I see pics, I don't see any lines or gaps where you have two pieces meeting. How do you do that? Do you make like 4 patterns from card board to cut the turf and piece it together? Thanks.

im not exactly sure where i saw it but there was an awesome thread on here called something like "how to turf with no seems" im pretty sure that would answer the majority of ur questions

Yes find that thread. It has lots of good information. Heat is the trick though. You'll be amazed how formable/stretchable turf can be once it's hot.

seam at 45 degree angles, use heat, don't cut anything you don't have to cut, and bring a lot of patience. Tom helped me with the X2. We used packing paper, cut a tiny bit large and smoothed to perfect fit with a DA. Naturally, X2 turf is one dimentional and there's no need for seams.
