I need to prep for hydroturf. The boat has numerous layers of Zep acrylic on tje deck and hulls. (Which makes it look great) but may hinder adhesion. Any ideas on the best surfa e for hydroturf? Thanks

If you search "You Tube", there are all kinds of videos on the subject.

If you get the Hydroturf with 3M backing and your deck is smooth, it should stick without issue. Even on textured non-ski (gelcoat), I managed to get the 3mm thick hydroturf with 3M backing to stick without issue.
