Moulded or Cut hydroturf?

[Maine Coast]

im going to be redoing the turf in my tray and i think im going to do the siderails and bumpers too...should i get the cut diamond (bunch of cool colors) or the moulded (only grey and black) ?? also if i go with moulded shoud i just buy the blem polaris sheets for less than half the price?

Molded will last longer because there are no cut (torn) edges.

alright thanks, is either one easier to bend/work with or are they basically the same?

The same as long as you use a heat gun to make it pliable.

i just did my SJ with molded, its really easy. I like it better than cut.

I think the cut turf has larger diamonds than the molded turf, so it gives it a different look all together.:27:

i think cut is kinda cool just becuase of the many colors avaliable, i dont know what im going to do! hahaha

 

[IceRocket1286]

you can get grove in the same colors as diamond as well.

Groove looks just as good as Diamond if you do it right.

I'm a fan of molded Diamond....the cut just doesnt look natural and blending to me.

Give HT a call and tell to hook ya up

ok and whats the deal with the "thick" hydroturf? i cant find it anywere on the site... what are the benifits to using this thicker turf? is it any more expensive?

 

[onesojourner]

I think its just a pad. my friend has it. its just for extra padding, and that is always good.

Maine -

Sorry for the delay in this post -- I hadn't logged on in a few days. The difference is the CUT Groove we do in house & machine the grooves into the material (taking away from the material) the MOLDED Groove (striaght or diamond) is actually formed that way so we are not taking away any of the material. I have heard the MOLDED Diamond Groove is VERY easy to work with .

The thick underpad is not on the site because it is still being R & D -- (speaking of which I haven't heard much from any of you guys testing that for me???)

Hope that helps - if you need anything else reply to this post or shoot me a PM or shoot me an email: laurel@hydroturf.com

I used the polaris sheets. They seam to be fine, the imperfections are very minor. They will cut you a deal on two sheets for like $40 , then you will have plenty to cut around any imperfections and plenty left over for turfing the rails or other projects. The sheets I got, the imperfections were hardly noticable and on the edges, so one sheet would have done the tray and footholds.Im using the other sheet to do the rails and pad

I fear a stupid question but how the heck do you order form hydroturf.com?
They have all pictures and prices and no apparent way to place an order.

PM HT VIXEN to order. Or call her (laurel) or Mike 714-635-6350.

The 25mm (almost an inch) padding is awsome!!! I really can't say enough about it! It's what should have been there all along. I compare it to the invention of footholds:hail:

It in no way has any negative effect on the rider or the ski....at least that I have seen
