small shrink rate, a small gap between sheets will be present. We recommend
leaving a one inch gap between panels.
Q.
How
long will it stayed adhered?
A. If proper prepping has been done, you can
expect 5-7 years of life.
Q.
Can
it be re-adheared if necessary?
A. Yes,
if the edge has slightly come up, use an acrylic based super glue. If
the sheet has completely come up, you will have to clean the area thoroughly
to remove any existing PSA and reapply another new sheet .
Q.
If
I choose to remove the pad how do I do this?
A. Use
a plastic putty knife to get under one corner. Grip and pull off. If
the EVA seems to be sticking and tearing, use the putty knife to jab
the area. You may want to enlist another set of hands to assist. Once
the entire pad is removed, there will be a small amount of PSA left
on the surface. Soak with mineral spirits for 10 minutes, scrap with
the plastic putty knife. Once the PSA has been removed, use acetone
to remove the mineral spirits.
Q.
How
do I prep the surface?
A. Use an ammonia based window cleaner and a
scotch brite pad to remove any dirt, sunscreen, wax. sweat, etc. Scrub
well and let dry completely. If the boat is new, you should repeat several
times as new boats have mold release that may hinder adhesion.
Q.
How
do I make patterns for my......swimplatform, poling or casting platform,
cockpit etc.?
A. Determine the layout for your particular application.
Tape plastic sheeting over the area and use a permanent marker to trace
the pattern onto the plastic. Cut the plastic and tape to cardboard. Cut
cardboard to fit. Place template in boat to determine fit.
