Victim of Turf

[tor*p*do]

Need to practice turfing before I do my actual stand-up.
look, a hapless WR500!
victim of my first turf attempt!

 

[D-Roc]

haha i rode one of those before, i think two girls on a paddle boat gave me a run for my money. all joking aside, turf that superjet!

 

[Rickster]

Those WR500's are the weirdest thing to ride... You have to really lean to get them to turn...:bigeyes:

You just wanted to practice drinking beer while turfing, eh!

:haha::haha::haha:

 

[tor*p*do]

Actually the 500 can be fun because it is so light. i can get it sideways at full speed and if you stab the nose, it spins around.
Getting ready to turf the 750. The SN gets footholds next winter . . .

Hope you have better luck then me. On your first turf job.:banghead:

^ you stole the words from my mouth.. I attempted my first try last nite, yeah u can say I suck... back to ground zero LOL theres 2hrs Ill never get back

 

[Big Kahuna]

here is the biggest tip....... when your brush the glue on both the turf and the hull....... when you think it is ready to put the turf down......... stop, walk away for 10 minutes, go drink a beer or something, Too many times people get ansy, I know I use too!!!!!!!!! It was not until I got my SJ that I learned to just take my time. Looks good so far!!!!!!!! Now get at the SJ!

i messed up on my rn where there is like a hump on the top of the side of the tray on one side its not stuck down but ill ride till it falls off and do it agqain.

that does not look so bad to me. just take your time cutting and heat the knife up real hot with a heat gun.

another tip..make sure you have PLENTY OF VENTALATION!!! i can not stress this enough i will personally only work with weldwood contact cement outside from now on....bout 2 1/2 years ago i was using this stuff to help adhere a new sub floor in my bathroom...thought the open windows would be enough...WRONG!! needless to say i got super stoned...so i went and laid down and took a nap...little did i know that from the inhalation of the fumes...i had just caused permanent nerve damage and paralized half my face..........i have regained some use..but my right eye sags sometimes and it waters at random whenever it wants to..i have limited movement of that side of my face and have no feeling from my cheek bone up...sorry for the novel just would hate to see the same thing happen to someone else when its easily avoidable

 

[BombThreat]

wow! I would have never thought it could cause that much damage to a person. Im sorry for what happened, I wonder if there are special masks/filters for doing these types of projects?

 

[tor*p*do]

gotta use good PPE!
that is personal protective equipment
preserve the lungs and the brain cells :biggthumpup: :biggthumpup:

Well he was doing a whole floor that is a lot of glue and a lot of fumes.Still I am sorry that happened to you,also remember to turn off all pilot lights and sources of ignition,the fumes are quite explosive and readily combustible.

Man that would suck to get that screwed up by contact cement. I guess i should be more careful around the fumes.

 

[tor*p*do]
