The end result will be a reflection of your preparation.
Just finished installing the product so don't have any long term durability info yet but thought I would share what I learned. A major part of the success of your project will come down to how A) How well you prepared your surface for a good adhesion. and B) How well you measured and made your templates. The cockpit of my boat was previously painted so I sanded and freshly painted my entire cockpit with topside paint a few weeks before install time. And then on the day of install just went over every section really well with acetone to make sure their was no grease or dust before I applied. And as far as measurements go. well every persons project will be different but don't rush this step. It is very important. Think about where you will need to make breaks due to boat layout or due to the size of the material all while making it look like that is how it was meant to be. Draw out your space on paper with measurements and think about how much material you will need to complete your project. I suggest buying an extra roll more than you think you will need to be able to fix pieces in the future but also because UNFORTUNATLY this product is made so the rolls do not end on full boards. (This cost them a review star) And a few of my rolls were not even cut straight. So there was more waist than would be otherwise. When making templates. Think about how you will make all your lines line up throughout your entire project to make it look like it all flows visually. I made templates on a roll of paper. I had textured edges in the fiberglass of my cockpit about a 1/2 inch back from the edge of each section where the non skid was. so I rough cut the piece to fit and taped in place then went over with a stick of artist graphite rubbing around edges to get an exact line on the paper where my edges were. I would also measure out and draw in 1/2 inch variances around objects that will need to be varnished in the future so I can still have room to get in there to tape, sand and varnish. also around any water fill caps or fuel fill caps, hatch hinges etc. Everyone's layout will be different but think about future maintenance and usability. Also in my opinion having the border space around everything looks really good and having the edge of the product back from the edges will keep it from getting caught on things and peeling up. I also took exact measurements of gaps between pieces to help me to be able to lay out templates later at home and in order to have all lines on the EVA Flooring line up perfectly. So you have to account for all space between each template section. In other words. Slow down and really put on your thinking cap on and give yourself all the necessary information in order to properly layout your job later on your material if you want straight flowing lines throughout your floor. It was not always so easy or obvious how to accomplish this in complex shaped areas. I drew pictures of the floor layout and assigned a letter and signified port or starboard. I did this to each section on my drawing and put a piece of painters tape with corresponding letter on each section of the boat and on each paper template section as well as each piece of EVA Flooring when cutting out. I had to do this to keep things organized. This really helped me throughout project because when you have a bunch of similar looking pieces later on if I did not have everything lettered I would have been overwhelmed and confused for sure. Ok, so once templates were all cut out I would go back and then I would dry fit the templates to make sure I did not mess up anything. Measure many times and only cut once. Ok so moving on I took the EVA Foam Decking out of the box and laid them out flat in my driveway in the sun and put weights on them to relax the material as best I could and get it to lay flat. I saw other reviews saying the product could shrink so I figured I would listen and just set them out for the day to be safe. This helped flatten them out and made much easier to cut. So I then cut all the pieces out. I made rough measurements and cut large rolls down to more manageable sizes and then traced my templates exactly and cut out. I had lead 1lb. fishing weights and water bottles on EVA material as well as my templates while cutting out to hold template down smooth as well as flatten EVA material out as much as possible to make accurate cuts. After I cut out I used a bottle cap to draw rounded edges on all corners for a more finished look and then cut those off. Then once that was finished I carefully went around all edges with the edge of a orbital sander with 100 grit paper to bevel edges to match the factory finished board edge look. I then went back around with 220 grit to smooth out to finish. I suggest practicing this on some scraps before doing on your final product. It takes a little finesse but well worth the time. Once this is done I was ready for install. (I saw many reviews suggesting additional adhesive. I personally felt the tackiness of test pieces I tested out made me feel that with proper preparation of my particular surface that it would be ok to install without any additional adhesive. Not to say the other reviewers are wrong at all. I just made that judgement call for myself and my particular application surface and level of surface preparation. That being said. Time will tell. But this is what I did.) So... I went down to my boat in the harbor and wiped all surfaces with acetone and dry fit my first piece. I used one gallon water jugs as weights to help hold pieces in place. once they were exactly where I wanted them I would lift up half leaving the weights on the other half or have a helper standing on it and then I would take a Exacto knife and lightly slice the bottom paper backing. A very shallow cut just through the paper. I would then peel off that half the backing and lay down straight with a vinyl floor installation roller or a paint roller with foam head. Something to roll the pieces down and push all the air out as it is being laid down. Then I would go over it really thoroughly pushing from the center to the outside making sure all air is out and all material firmly pushed down. Then I stand on the other half and peel off the other side of the paper and repeat the process. Making sure that everything gets laid down right to the edges and that all my reveals are perfectly straight. I did this until all pieces were laid down. You could do this alone but I suggest getting a helping hand. Preferably someone with some patience because once this stuff sticks down it is not coming back up. It is really sticky. You can lift small sections back up in an emergency as you are applying before any roller weight has been applied but be very careful. You get one shot so have everything perfectly lined up before any paper backing comes off and make sure If someone is standing on one side to help hold in place just make sure they don't move at all. So any children helpers is a bad idea. lol Anyway, Once all your pieces are completely down you are done. After that I would just walk all over installed pieces with bear feet or socks and really put pressure on all corners edges thin spots etc. I just walked around in circles for over an hour. Not to mention the stuff feels so good on your feet! By that point I was so relieved that it all went in I could not stop just walking in circles looking at my new cockpit. Love it! You can do it! Good Luck!

It's a nice Boat Flooring Foam that's what I expected
I know it's just what I need when I got it. It looks nice and goes well with my boat. This is the first time I purchased this kind of boat flooring, but it's really high-quality product. Easy cut and installation, one thing I want to remind of is be careful of the glue as the adhesion is pretty strong and durable.I almost spend half a Sunday with the assistance of a friend, and luckily got all the boat flooring completed. As soon as I finished, I can't wait to go fishing with the upgraded boat. As advertised, it's comfortable and slip resistant, all feel good. Overall, I am very pleased with this product, as far as how long it holds up, surely time will tell.Thank FOCEAN providing a good product! Highly recommend to everybody!

Install is a little difficult
Comes in a roll. Best to unroll and weigh it down in the hot sun before trying to apply. Once it's applied it does not come off. Seems durable

Looks good installed Until it comes unglued
First and foremost, you need to roll this stuff out to flatten it for several days.It is easy to cut and install.I’m not sure how well the adhesive will last over time. A few edges wanted to lift up and I had to restick them. Also, when I peeled the backing off in some areas the adhesive came off with the backing. After only one week sitting in a heated garage all the edges are lifting up. I know the surface was adequately cleaned and prepped. I’m going to have to add additional adhesive. I would return it if I hadn’t spent so much time on this.Do yourself a favor and spend the additional money on a quality product, the adhesive on this is garbage.
