Installation Recommendations
Temperature Matters: Install your EVA Marine Decking / Boat Flooring only between 50°F and 100°F (10°C–38°C) for optimal adhesive performance.
Placement Precision: Once the SeaDeck Boat Deck Mat adhesive contacts the surface, it cannot be repositioned. Ensure exact placement before applying pressure.
Gentle Handling: Avoid stretching, pulling, or compressing the SeaDeck Boat Decking to maintain accurate alignment and prevent distortion.
Surface Preparation: The Key to a Perfect Installation
Proper surface preparation ensures a strong, long-lasting bond between your Boat Flooring SeaDek and the Regal 24 FastDeck deck surface.
Step 1 – Deep Clean: Wipe the surface with acetone and a clean rag to remove grease, wax, old adhesive, and dirt.
Step 2 – Final Wipe: Follow immediately with isopropyl alcohol and a new lint-free cloth to remove any remaining residue.
Step 3 – Dry Completely: Let the surface dry completely before installation (usually 30–60 seconds after cleaning).
Step-by-Step Installation for Your SeaDeck Boat Deck Mat
Follow these detailed instructions to achieve a professional, bubble-free installation of your EVA Marine Flooring SeaDek Boat Decking:
-
Dry Fit: Before removing any backing, place all EVA foam decking pads on your 2012–2015 Regal 24 FastDeck to check alignment and fit.
-
Cut the Backing: Select the first pad to install. Flip it adhesive side up and use a sharp razor knife to score the paper backing from the center to the edges (do not cut into the foam).
-
Peel and Crease: From the center cut, peel back about 2 inches (5 cm) of the paper on each side and fold to expose the center adhesive.
-
Position the Mat: Carefully position the SeaDeck Boat Deck Flooring EVA Marine Floor Mat exactly where it will be installed.
-
Secure with Tape: Use masking tape to hinge one side of the mat to hold it in place during installation.
-
Expose the Adhesive: Lift the untaped side, peel away the backing, and gently press it into place.
-
Apply Pressure: Press firmly from the center outward (center to top, center to bottom) to eliminate air bubbles and ensure full contact.
-
Final Step: Remove the tape hinge, peel the remaining backing, and press down from center outward to complete installation of your Marine Flooring SeaDek.
