Hydro-Turf install?

Getting ready to install the mat set on my 89' 550 and was wondering if there are any special tricks or tips you fellow riders would like to share. Seems to be a pretty straight forward process. Thanks

Sand really well and clean with acetone. Lay the mats down first to be sure they are where you want them. If not using the 3M adhesive and you are using contact cement, use three light coats on each side, letting each dry completely before applying the next. A second set of hands is helpful to get them into position. Start at one end and gently lay them down starting at one end and working back. So the sides first, and the tray last. Beat the mat with a mallet to get the air out.

What he said plus make sure you get the cement on the edges of the turf.

GREAT threads cover this topic all over X-H20.

Do a search and get some reading glasses handy.

Beer, you can't have too much beer when you turf. when you think the contact cement is dry have another beer and wait, and like shonuff said there are a TON of thread on here about turfing.
