I am looking at ordering some hydroturf and it gives me the option of the 3M adhesive already on it or without...what is your guys opinion?

weldwood contact cement works real well

Get it without, use contact cement

I like the 3M. If you prep the surface good it sticks good.

I did 3m and contact cement.

I did the 3m and supper 77. Worked great so far

3m only on two boats. Sticks just fine.

3m adhesive backing = $30-40 per sheet


Contact cement = < $30 for the entire boat and sticks better.

You may have more money in it with 3M. One thing I like about using the 3M is if you need to remove it just use a heat gun and pull gently and it will come up.

Using the 3M and contact cement is a waste of money. Contact cement is a lot more cost efficient and does a great job.

But when you get the turf on discount it works out perfectly

I used spray adhesive on mine last week. Seems to be stuck good but may all blow off the first time I go down the road. Lol

using a contact adhesive on top of 3M PSA is about the dumbest thing I've heard of. Its like wiping before and after you poop. The 3M PSA is a great industrial level product. Contact cement will still offer better adhesion. I work with sponge sheets like this on a daily basis we use both PSA and contact adhesive in making of industrial seals gaskets and other fab parts. The sponge will rip before the bond is broken with contact cement. PSA on the other hand can be pulled up cleaner and readjusted if not laid perfect make sure it is perfectly clean and wiped down with solvent any dirt built up in corners ect will lead to delamination over time.

I sprayed a light mist of super 77 on my boat then Stuck the turf with 3M backing on and it stuck like a mofo now. Make sure you clean it well before applying.

I recently purchased a new boat and am looking for a way to get Hydroturf for it. Specifically, the Gator Boat Brown that GatorTrax offers. As of today, GatorTrax is not expecting to have any of this color until late July/August, and Hydroturf says that they have none either. I've called CamoToad and he seemed like a great guy, but he also was not able to get ahold of any. Does ANYONE know who/how to get Hydroturf in the gator boat brown??!!?? Any help would be very appreciated!

Boat dr probably has it.

Gator Boat Brown is a Gator Trax color.
I'm sure they have tons of it
