Hopefully I can get by without extra adhesive too. My boat is an Alumacraft jon though so it will definitely take some good sanding/cleaning prep to get a good bond to that basic painted aluminum.

The first boat I put this on had a slick paint job. This boat has a light to medium texture. All I did was wipe the surface down with white rubbing alcohol and stick it down. Once you stick it down and press or roll it, it's stuck.

On my slimed unwashed sides of my Jon boat, when I have to stick my yearly state and launch decals, I wipe clean, and peel and stick. They won’t come off without heat and a raiser blade to put the new ones on. Peel and stick 3 m is the same, clean the surface on your jon boat and stick it on without air bubbles under it. Marshrunner757 is right. When I pull my glued carpet up, I will have to really work the surface clean. That will take some elbow grease!

Beautiful installation job! Looks great! Sure would like to have decks like that in my boat instead of the carpet.

Thank you! That would be a good winter project for you. Rip the carpet up and put hydroturf.

Here is my hydro turf. Going on 4 years now and still loving it. Got the self adhesive type and still stuck in place. I fish barefooted a lot in the Oklahoma blazing summer and doesn’t get hot. Hasn’t faded either. Would recommend it to anyone looking to replace their carpet.
