here is Unclejay's tried and true method. Do the surface prep as instructed, then install as follows (assumes 3M backing):
1. Lay all the pieces in the boat to make sure they are located correctly, believe it or not some arent obvious where they go and if you put one in the wrong place, lots of luck.
2. Remove em all. Now, for each piece:
3. Peel back the paper about ONE INCH along the narrowest side
4. Put the paper back over the stickum, loosely.
5. lay the piece down from the OPPOSITE END and position it carefully. It will not stick cause the paper is loosely covering the stickum.
6. Kneel on the piece so it doesnt move.
7. Again peel the paper back 1 inch , since you already did it, it will fall right off
8. Stick that one inch strip firmly to the deck. Your mat is now located.
9. Reach under the mat and pull the paper slowly out from under it, using a roller wheel over a towel to secure it every few inches. Dont run the roller wheel right on the turf, it may cut or dent it.
