- Start with the first central part. Peel off the adhesive backing on one end (we recommend from the top) and start applying without stretching. PRO TIP: One of the properties of the material is that it's quite elastic, so do not stretch it during installation.
- Then side parts ensuring even gaps on each side. Align at the top and try again not to stretch the material to guarantee even lengths. PRO TIP: Use the HexaTraction spacer.

Cork Front Deck Grip Care & Maintenance
One of the main benefits of the cork Front Deck Grip is to get rid of the wax hassle, so what maintenance?
Just a couple of simple care and maintenance recommendations to prolongue its life and keep it attractive and in optimal condition:
- Rinse with fresh water after each session to keep it clean and free from salt.
- If you notice a decrease of grip with time, dip a sponge or rag into warm water with dish soap and wring it out. Use the sponge or rag to gently wash the surface of cork grip. You can also use a hard sponge like Magic Eraser.
