Installation guide (PSA “peel-and-stick” over gelcoat/aluminum)
-
Prep: Clean, dry, and de-wax surface; repair chips; confirm drainage/slope.
-
Layout: Dry-fit sheets; mark centerlines; allow material to relax flat.
-
Bond: Peel small sections of liner; align and squeegee from center outward to avoid air.
-
Roll: Firmly roll all areas (especially edges/seams).
-
Cure: Keep dry and unladen per adhesive guidance before heavy use.
Tip: Radius sharp corners and seal exposed edges where needed.
Care & maintenance
Rinse after use; scrub with mild soap and soft brush. Promptly lift fish blood/sunscreen/wine with gentle cleaners. Avoid harsh solvents/bleach. Periodically check edges and high-traffic zones.
Frequently asked questions
-
Lead time: Standard sheets ship in ~25 days; add 1–2 weeks for PSA backing, special lamination, or kit sets.
-
Samples: Yes—color/texture swatches and small panels available.
-
Soft/firm options: We tune compound/expansion to your preferred feel.
