Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ'S)
For general cleaning, Use a mild dish soap in warm water with a soft bristle deck brush
Rinse the floor thoroughly after scrubbing.
For ground in dirt, mildew, or minor stains, try Orange Glo, Citrus Magic or Simple Green cleaners.Spray the area that is stained with the cleaner and let it soak for about 10 minutes before using a paper towel or microfiber towel to wipe up the area.
AVOID IF POSSIBLE - For tougher stains, you can try CLR or Tilex DO NOT allow these cleaners to sit on your floor for an extended length of time. Rinse the sprayed area well a few times to make sure it is completely rinsed off . BE SURE THESE CLEANERS DO NOT GET ON SEATS OR CANVAS AS THEY WILL CAUSE DAMAGE.
Regardless of which cleaner you choose to use, carefully read each cleaner’s instructions and recommended use.Minimize potential damage to your flooring by testing harsher cleaners on a concealed section of your boat floor before using the cleaner on a more obvious section of the floor. If unsure, contact the manufacturer and ask if the cleaning product is safe to use on vinyl.
For a smooth and successful application, you'll need to thoroughly prepare the boat surface. This includes:
- Removing all objects: Take off seats, tables, electronics, etc., to allow easy access for vinyl application.
- Ripping out old flooring: Completely remove existing carpet, vinyl, and any remaining adhesive residue.
- Replacing rotten wood (pontoons): For wood decks, especially pontoons, ensure a solid foundation by replacing any damaged wood with new ¾” pressure-treated plywood or marine-grade plywood screwed securely to the boat structure.
- Cleaning the surface: Clear away any debris, sawdust, screws, or foreign objects using a leaf blower or broom.
Preparation:
- Clean the surface: Thoroughly remove all debris, dust, screws, and foreign objects from the boat area using a leaf blower or broom.
- Fiberglass etching (optional): For fiberglass surfaces, roughen the surface with coarse sandpaper to improve adhesion. Clean any fiberglass dust after sanding.
- Measure and cut the vinyl: Carefully measure and pre-cut the vinyl pieces to the required shapes and sizes for optimal coverage.
Safety:
- MD-102 is flammable. Keep it away from children and open flames/high heat. Use it in a well-ventilated area.
Adhesive Application:
- Apply adhesive to vinyl: Use a small nap paint roller to spread MD-102 adhesive on the non-woven polyester back of the vinyl (3-inch roller for smaller areas). Avoid getting adhesive on the vinyl's topside.
- Apply adhesive to surface: Apply a thin, even coat of MD-102 to the boat surface where the vinyl will be placed.
- Set time: Allow both the adhesive on the vinyl and the boat surface to set for 10-15 minutes until it's slightly tacky to the touch.
Note: Applying too much adhesive can cause air bubbles under the vinyl. These bubbles will disappear in 2-3 days, especially in sunlight. Don't remove the vinyl or seal the edges during this time.
- MD-101 (wood surfaces) dries in 2-3 hours.
- MD-102 (aluminum/fiberglass surfaces) dries in 1 hour.
- Allow the adhesive to dry completely overnight before installing seating or equipment.
Here's a step-by-step guide for installing the vinyl on a prepared wood surface using MD-101 adhesive:
- Unwrap and position the vinyl: Carefully unroll the vinyl, checking for sufficient length and centering it on the surface with appropriate overhang on all sides. Remove any wrinkles.
- Secure one end and roll back: Place weighted objects (toolbox, pail) near one boat end to hold the vinyl down. Starting from the opposite end, loosely roll the vinyl back towards the weights, maintaining a straight roll.
- Apply the adhesive: Shake the MD-101 container for a minute. The glue should resemble thick white paint. Apply the adhesive in serpentine lines (about 1.5” wide) using a roller, covering an area wider than the vinyl by 15 inches. Ensure a heavy coat with no puddles or dry spots.
- Unroll and press the vinyl: Standing on the vinyl near the weights, slowly unroll it over the wet adhesive, removing any wrinkles by lifting the vinyl slightly. Use a stiff bristle broom to press the vinyl down, ensuring even adhesive distribution and removing air pockets.
- Repeat for remaining area: Return to the beginning, remove the weights, fold back the vinyl, and apply adhesive as before. Overlap the new adhesive section slightly over the previous one. You can lift the adhered vinyl slightly to ensure complete adhesive coverage. Repeat until the entire surface is covered.
Vinyl Installation:
- Position and apply vinyl: Carefully place the vinyl on the surface without wrinkles or air bubbles. MD-102 requires quick application, so ensure proper positioning before pressing down.
- Smoothing: Once placed, use your hand to smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles, ensuring uniform contact with the surface.
- Repeat for remaining pieces: Follow the same steps to apply subsequent pieces of vinyl.
Seams:
- Overlapping seams is possible, but minimizing exposed seams is recommended. Try to hide seams under overhangs, seats, or align them with existing seams in the aluminum.
- For butt seams, use a "wallpaper cut": Overlap the vinyl pieces, then use a sharp utility knife to cut through both layers along the top vinyl's edge. Remove the bottom vinyl piece and press the top vinyl down for a clean butt joint.
By following these steps, you can successfully apply marine vinyl fabric to your aluminum or fiberglass boat surface using MD-102 adhesive. Remember to prioritize safety and take your time for a professional-looking finish
