I bought it for my Platform and love it. It works well and I ran a bead of caulk around the edge and have no problems out of it.

I resurfaced my Hyperlite Vinyl Wakeskate with it. Didn't really care much for the stock grip tape. I love the Gator Grip!!! I'll definately be getting some more of it for my swim platform and transom protector. Highly recommended.

On the gunnels for 5 years and still looks like the day I got it!

I've never used caulk on it at all. Might be an interesting touch.
Heres a few pics of stuff I've done with it.

Bill,

Do you know if anything other than just
the 3M sticky tape was used on the traxx on the
EDGES of red CinchMax platform?

Silicone chaulking works just fine. Also adds a nice finishing touch.

when you remove this stuff does it leave a residue? and how easy is it to cut? i want to do my whole boat in it, well by that i mean all the top edges and the transom area, and the bow step, maybe some on the trailer.

Jack,

It's very easy to cut. The residue would be
the same as from any 3M sticky tape, I am assuming
it would come right off with GOO-GONE.

I bought mine last fall to do my Gunnels and other horizontal surfaces.

Been on a lot of boats with this stuff...

Bought mine from airjunky.com

Cutting is a breeze with a descent pair of scissors. Shapes can be traced to the back of the material. Or you can mock up a shape in cardboard or butcher paper, then transfer that the back of it.

The product typically comes with PSA on the back for an easy peel n stick install. But the PSA has been in short supply lately so we have a couple of alternative methods to install it. Contact me if you have any questions.

I'm selling with PSA so, install is super simple. Installation notes on web page.

I put all around the top edge of the walls on my old supra to replace the nasty old teak rails that were up. looks awesome.

I'm not fond of the stuff to be honest. Had our boat mechanic put some on last summer and it peeled right up. The 3M adhered to the boat, but pulled away from the mat itself. I'll be re-doing my swim platform, and bow step in Hydro-Turf this year, never had a single problem with that product

I used it for two years on my boat and loved it.

Great product! Had it for 3 seasons, no peel up ect... Not sure why the other guy had it peel up but I would figure that to be a prep issue. It's on some friends boats as well. Everyone loves it.

will it last longer and look better if i do the caulk around the edges?

I don't have first hand knowledge if caulking will make it last longer but, since the material is up to 1/4" thick at the bubbles, the caulking will add a bit of transition between the surface and the material.

I was told to put something heavy on the
traxx for about 30 minutes when installing to ensure
good adhesion.
