Ending turf@ transom. Sanding turf, how?

[Shifty]

No, thats my friends Blaster. The blue one is still the same except for some Prok flame arrestors and a few more dings.

How is the factory dash panel retained? I see the four rivets, but is it glued or siliconed down allong the top?

Thanks,

Thanks,

the factory dash panel is long gone...its just turfed like anywhere else, just contact cement..

Sorry, I meant that gererally not specific to you, but thanks for the repeat. I need to pull off my dash to install my primer and if it is a PITA to remove I will wait till I do the full turf job.

Now that I have the turf done... I have gaps. I cut my turf out in a 'T' shape to fill in the area behind the gunnels, where the factory corner pieces go. Anyway I didnt get the turf far enough forward before it STUCK. I now have some tiny gaps right where the turf comes off the 25mm padding that I would like to fill. What about black silicone,

Where do you get the stuff?

Is is shiny when cured? (i don't want that)

Is there a better option to conceal, and to keep from peeling?

I was thinking some black weather strip adhesive or black permatax form-a-gasket.

Any advice appreciated,

Just run it like it is it will get beat and torn in no time if you are an aggressive rider.

It is not that bad, but I feel like it could lead to ripping or seperation if it gets blasted all day with water. I think I will pump some black silicone in there. Does silicone stick to turf well?

 

[Big Kahuna]

yes, black silicone/RTV will work fine.
