Seadek Pad Installed

[mmandley]

does the new pad come with glue how clean do you have to get the fiberglass. can you go over the old glue or is that what the putty knife is for in the pic

I want to say Ed G or Moombadaze did a thread on the installation of this. Basically what ive gathered as i haven't done mine yet and when i get it i will get some pics of the process.

Heat the old pad to remove it, sunlight, hair dryer. Then use a plastic puddy knife to remove the old glue. Several different products to remove adhesive you can use also.

Lightly scuff up the deck for the new pad.

New pad is a 3m product with self adhesive backing and goes on like a big sticker. Just get it centered, peel and stick to swim deck.

Wolfeman,

Looks great. Just ordered what I believe to be the same color combo/patten last week. Is that the cool gray color?

Lawrenceville eh? I went to Central Gwinnett for a few months back in 86'.

Thanks! Everyone loves it. It is the cool gray. Looks like you're a long way from the 'ville now!

Install was easy - took the platform off and set it in the sun for an hour or so. Stuck the putty knife under a corner and pulled. Would suggest gloves as the old, black pad was hot and burned my fingers. My girls thought it was fun peeling off the old glue & some Goof Off! took off what they didn't get.

I positioned the pad as I wanted it then taped one side down and flipped the other side on top of the side taped down. I cut the backing, peeled it off and laid the pad down, working it slowly from the middle to the end of the platform. I pulled the tape off and repeated the process for the other side.

for those that just got one from mmandley's group buy, you're gonna love the new pad! very easy job, just follow suggestions of others such as let it sit in the sun to loosen up the old glue, wear some gloves when peeling off the old pad and have a helper when putting on the new pad.

Wolfe, what colour options did you pick.. what are the names of the colours..
