Can Marine Customs Non-Skid Decking sheets be seamed?
This is not recommended. Even with a very small shrink rate, a small gap between sheets will be present. We recommend leaving a 1/2 inch gap between panels.
How long will it stayed adhered?
If proper prepping has been done, you can expect at least 5-7 years of life.
Can it be re-adhered if necessary?
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.
If I choose to remove the pad how do I do this?
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.
How do I prep the surface?
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.
