Installation
TIPS for a perfect installation:
- We recommend to install it at room temperature. Below 68F (20C) the material and glue tend to get rigid, which will make installation more difficult.
- Thoroughly clean the area with alcohol or similar. Make sure no wax is present. Avoid industrial cleaners.
- Before starting, lay out the HexaTraction hexagons choosing the best pattern to cover the area where you need grip and traction.
- PRO TIP: Peel exactly half of the adhesive backing of the first HexaTraction hexagon, so it will be super easy to align with the board centerline.
- Pour plenty of water. Plenty! It will help in having no air bubbles.
- Stick on half of the hexagon making sure to remove all air and water out by rubbing with your fingers and/or cloth. Remove the other half of the backing and squeeze all the air and water out.
- PRO TIP: Squeeze from the center to the edges or from one side and across so all air and water is pushed out.
- Using the HexaTraction black star as a template, progress through the deck one hexagon at a time.
- PRO TIP: Align the template on the side of the hexagon with the adhesive backing still on.
- Complete the layout using the half hexagons if needed.
- You're done. Review all hexagons, making sure all the water is out, allow to dry (not in the sun) and let it cure for a few hours before heading into the water.
HexaTraction uses a strong adhesive. If you need to remove it, we suggest using a hair dryer or heatgun to apply some gentle heat so the adhesive softens, and removal is easier. If your board is painted or coated this is especially recommended.
