How long after turfing untill I can use the boat?

[Tysonk]

I have searched the forums and found lots of good information on the install of Hydro turf. I have the kit with the 3m backing, and after I install the mat kit how long should I let it sit before I can use my boat?

It is supposed to be really nice tomorrow and I wanted to get my mats in before taking the boat out.

How long does this stuff take to cure?

Thanks
Tyson

With the 3m backing, you can use it as soon as you want.

Definitely OK to use by tomorrow.

But generally, it is ready to go after you apply it.

+1, used mine same day as applied. May actually help set it with weight and use, just make sure swim deck is laid down well before soaking it. Per instructions, also helpful to clean deck with denatured alcohol before application to help get solid 3M set.

Set it and forget it .....

I installed my early afternoon and was on the water that evening. No issue with the adhesion at all.

You'll enjoy it ...
