[QUOTE="papaco, post: 473345, member: 1643"] I just put Hydro Turf (HT) down on my boat this past weekend. Great stuff. If you need to run a seam, it can be tricky with the pattern/color you go with. I ordered the wide groove Taupe on Cream. It only comes in 47" width so I had to seam it. I noticed the grooves were not straight when using a straight edge, so I put a laser on it (see pic) and took a picture and sent to HT. If they are not straight and you need to use a seam, it will be tricky, but take your time, practice on some scraps. With my color/pattern aligning the seam in the groove hid it best. It comes with or without the 3M backing, I choose to go with, which I recommend. Use a carpet knife. Score the 3M paper backing to adhere your pieces portions at a time. Use some cardboard or other material to create a template to cut the HT, you don't want to make a mistake. [/QUOTE]
