hydro turf for blaster

[t1024j]

is there already a precut ht for the inside and on top of the rails? im tired of smacking my ankles!!!!!!!!!!

[mysteri8me]

To my knowledge there is no precut turf for the rails. I have read before that jetworks(I believe) sells a kit that does the inside and tops of the rails. I personally just bought a sheet of turf, and I'm going to make templates and precut my own turf and install it.

jettrim makes then. i have an old set that i use as a template.

It's actually supposed to be x2. If you are going to be +ing, it should be +1 unless you are also counting the voices in your head.

as someone mentioned on PWCtoday if you use the rubber cement correctly you wont need the clamps, just a rubber mallet and a heat gun

its really easy to do. i didnt do the inside of the rails but woulda only taken 5 min longer. i got another b1 i gota do the rails i can take pics of the process.

I agree with others. Get a roll of turf, glue (weldwood contact cement), razor blades, heat gun and do it yourself. It is pretty easy. I didn't do the sides, but it is one piece. This was my second turf job. My first I used my kids 650sx for the guinea pig.

When you guys are doing the rails did you cut the turf flush at the back trim pieces or does the turf go under them a bit?

[t1024j]

good question!!! and the front nose piece?

[customride0105]

i went under that way theres no loose edges sticking out that can rip it off. and looks alot better ran under neath but you can only go like 1/2 inch under plus helps hold it down. i use weldwood when using it you dont need clamps put light coat on the turf then light coat where it goes let it dry maybe 10 min you will see the color differance and when u put it on make sure its in the right spot cause you will not be able to get it back off...

[t1024j]

cool im gonna do it in the next couple of months. i will make sure to take photos so you guys can tell me what im doing wrong/right.

Cut it flush at a 45 degree angle. The rushing water will rip it right up if you wrap it under.

10 minutes may not be enough in some cases.

Sand the backing of the turf a bit.

Clean both surfaces with acetone, or whatever you have that will clean it REAL good.

Lay down a coat of weldwood original (not the green can of weldwood) on the ski and the turf. Weldwood will eat paint. So remove paint wherever you are going to turf. Found that out on accident.

Let that dry up. It should feel tacky, but dry.

Lay down a second coat on both surfaces.

Let that dry up.

Start turfing.
