great job mate. I'm doing my second boat shortly. I use Silkaflex 591 black, around all the seems, just for good measure, that water can not get underneath and start lifting the stickiness. Bit of extrawork though having to mask up the edges and then mask the floor. 3 or 4mm , Then when you peel off leaves a lovely finish.
Thank you for not glossing over the stenciling and measuring part. Too many videos speed through it and it's the most important part, good to see the actual speed of some of the difficult portions of boat. Came out great nice work. My only question is what about the screws you took out, wouldnt you want to seal them with something in case water seeps through?
What's wrong with bare gel coat? It lasts 25 years, cleans up fully, handles UV like a champ, etc. All of this fake teak is just people doing stupid things.
I would guess there is something out there that you could spray on it after installing that would help repel something like blood or at least seal the pours a little bit so it rinses off easier. With that said, it was pretty dirty and I am surprised at how clean you got it. I would happy with those results.
Its actually holding up really well . Was trying to upload a photo in the comments but it cant be done apparently.Its been a year now since installation and i am very pleased how well its doing.
i install my brown and im not happy at all everytime when gets wet is a mess of paint from the eva foam look like brown dust when is dry everyting you bring aboard gets stain from it
@@Eltsinoz I understand that you say that it already has it but that’s not a reality. What kind of stain resistant in water resistant treatment would you use to make it? Let’s say more water and stain resistant? Because reality is that stains do occur often.
Can’t believe y’all put carpet on offshore boats. The blood would be a nightmare. Not to mention all the damned snaps. Plan on putting the exact same foam on my twin vee. How has it held up thus far? You did a hell of a job.
Great update. thanks for posting. Looks like a crime scene but good to know and glad the overall performance is good. I think I'll stick to just the pleasure boating vs the fishing boats for this product.
The rolls were only 500mm wide so it would have made it difficult as the carpet was one large piece.Also, I wanted it to be a more accurate fit than the carpet was.
I'm glad you're pleased with the product. But, I have to say, knowing how much trouble it was for you to install it - and, did such a nice job at that - and knowing how difficult it was for you to clean it after use, I wouldn't use it myself. I think I would go for industrial rubber coin mat. It's non-slip, stain resistant, and quite rugged - and, no more difficult to install. This stuff is designed for garage floors - no fish guts are going to stain it, even if left baking in the sun. And, cat claws are not going to be an issue, either. Thanks for the video! Very informative - because, I had been considering it myself. But, not now.
I did my express cruiser back in 2020 still holding up great only 2 suggestions 1 always round your corners 2 before your final lay down & adhesion give it a spray of 3M heavy duty spray adhesive. Looks great mate!
Won't last. I fish almost every day and my boat is under cover when not used and this stuff only lasts 2 maybe 3 years in Florida. It's disintegrating away.
Nice job. Just got a sea fox boat and looking to do this . Thinking of doing seating in the cuddy as well . Also they have a diamond pattern maybe for the dash.
I thought about doing that but if i have to replace it , it will take ages to clean it all off.So far none of it has lifted so all good.Thanks for watching.
If you give the boat a real good clean it will stick.I used degreaser and acetone to clean mine but mine is fibre glass. Just check on a small area on your boat just in case the acetone reacts.
