REALLY? Do a search - almost everyone recommends the Dap Weldwood. I wonder if people that had a bad experience bought the wrong kind. You need the GEL - the other kind is crap from what I have heard.

I have used the Dap before - it's great.

 

[dieseltwitch]

Yeah im not sure but i just bought 3 cans of the Hydroturf glue so i dont have to worry if get the wrong stuff but yeah a few people at PWC today told me to stay away from it so... being new i feel like playing it safe

 

[onesojourner]

the people on pwc today were wrong. red dap is great. I am pretty sure hydro-turf is actually just rebranding it. sorry man you just wasted your money.

 

[thrllskr]

Yeah, Hydroturf actually says you can but their glue or use Dap Weldwood... only they charge 4xs as much for theirs.

I just got done with installing my pre cut kit and it went pretty well. Except for the foothold pieces, I can't figure out how they go in. It looks like I will just have to cut my own pieces for that anyway. Also the "Hydroturf" lettering has gaps in it which I didn't catch until I was done which looks a little jacked up but it might of been installer error.
The only piece that saved time and was worth getting the kit was the gunwhale side pieces. Everything else I could of just been cut out of a sheet easily.
By the way I use DAP Weldwood with no isses. The turf on my Blaster is going on 3 years and is still holding strong.

When ordering turf from hydro-turf can you enter the code in online or do you have to place the order in over the phone to receive a discount? Thank you

 

[dieseltwitch]

idk thought about that my self. but i just ordered it over the phone.

 

[onesojourner]

you can not order online. its not even an option. you have to do it on the phone. talk to mike.

 

[carpanthers555]

Well I called and the guys at hydro turf were really nice they gave me a 15 percent off, for being a member at pwc. I got the pre-cut black molded diamond turf. Thank you hydroturf total amount was about 84.00:arms: including shipping with discount not bad considering the turf costs 85.00. Thank you hydroturf.:biggthumpup:

The precut pieces for the footholds are pretty useless. Order extra turf because you will have to custom cut those pieces anyway.

I paid $150 Shiped
I got....
2 sheets of Molded Diamond
1 sheet of 8mm Padding
3 cans of Glue
Im going all the way to the front with Turf

Dap weldwood works great. I use the regular red can(not gel) and use a 3" paint roller, works perfect.

i was turfing the other day, and i was thinking, anyone ever turf an entire ski? ( the whole outside ) It would be a bit expensive, and hard, but it I thought it would be interesting to do.

 

[dieseltwitch]

1 question.... WHY!?

 

[Mike W]

Next time I will just buy HT by the sheet. Mine came out OK but the HT lettering looks boogered up.

 

[WaHoo_1]

nice work Mike- like the kicktail. Did you carve that into the padding/foam? I did something similar with my 04.

Thanks... I just used some extra padding from the useless foothold pieces. I just sanded and formed the foam. I think it will be easier on the knees.:biggthumpup:
