my deck pad is peeling off!!!

[mikan1089]

My deck pad started to Peel off a little bit. What kind of glue is strong enough and safe for the board? Mahalo

[gianni]

use an liquid neoprene glue (Bostik like glue but black); tipically glue for diving wetsuit and so. It's an elastic and waterproof glue and then ok for surf pad. Clean out the surface of deck before

[mikan1089]

Thanks for the info I'll keep that in mind. I think I read somewhere there's 3MM glue that comes in a spay can,has anyone heard of this or used it for deck pads?

[gianni]

oh, not in Italy, I never have heard this! I've tryed several solution but I don't think that spray glue is ok, not enough thickness between pad and deck surface.

Feet on pad produces strong movements and I think is necessary bouncing glue

glues that are hard after gluing breaking


ps oh...I'm in big difficolt in technical words

[esonscar]

If your deck grip is peeling you did not properly cleanse your surfboard before application.

...specially old wax traces...

next time read product istruction, which probably tell u pre-hotting surface of deck portion by an hair dryer

[mikan1089]

First off the instructions said nothing about using a hair dryer and second heat is a surfboards worst enemy. But thanks for trying to help.

[gianni]

oh, probably or not...

My Gorilla pad instruction say ok for hair dryer

Heat is enemy of board only up than 50 Celsius degree. Remember that after laminating il ok curing at this temperature for better strong of resin bond

in every case heat is friend of pad glue
