Customization Guide

*All of these steps must be completed for us to be able to produce your kit

• Make sure you are using a fine marker (thick lines create kit discrepancies)
• Write your name on at least one of the template pieces
• Mark which way is up on all pieces
• Mark forward direction on all pieces
• Write Year, Make and Model on at least one of the template pieces
• Make reference marks as to where the separate pieces line up with one another (ex.
  A line labeled letter A on one piece lining up to a line labeled letter A on another
  piece)
• Leave pieces attached where at all possible
• Mark out all hardware
• Write if we need to add or remove from your templates based on the method you
  used (ex. If you followed the non skid we would typically add 0.20” for good
  coverage, or if you went right to the edges we would typically remove 0.20”)
• Take clear photos of your templates on the boat!

Tools:
● Sharp Razor Knife
● Scissors
● Template Material
● Masking & Double-Sided Tape
● Fresh / Sharp Jiffy Felt Pen

1. Applying a strip of masking tape and a small section of double-sided tape to that,
   this holds the template material in place. Lay a section of material, trim off any
   excessive excess as it might interfere with you or how the materials are laid. The
   material must lay flat and true! Otherwise when we lay it out here, it could be off.
2. Being every boat is substantially different, it's up to the person templating how the
   final kit will look. The two current methods are to mark the factory non-skid OR
   marking the edges of everything. Which route depends on the boat, the final look,
   etc. but there is no right or wrong method.
3. If marking the non-skid, we advise going beyond the non-skid by " x " amount, +.25"
   for example. Creates an excellent seal around the kit as well as you won't run the
   risk of some non-skid showing if the kits to tight to the template. The increased
   amount from the template is fully up to the temperate; it makes no difference to us.
   We can always go to template as well, the adhesive bonds without issue to textured
   surfaces.
4. If we're marking the perimeter edges, then we will bring in the kit by " x " amount; a
   common one at the facility is -.20". But again, the amount is fully up to the person's
   templating. We can make it whatever you'd like, including just a template. The
   process here is straightforward; mark the template by just tracing the edges of
   everything. Hatches, walls, seat bases, etc. Then we digitally reduce the final kit by
   the selected amount or leave it as is.
5. Whichever method you choose, please pick a consistent template adjustment
   measurement for the complete kit. Do not mark every edge with a different
   number/distance.

1. Templates are ideally large sections, we don't need them trimmed up, cut out etc.
   Leave the excess material. Are you doing a grid with multiple pads? Lay down one
   section of plastic and trace the sections. Same for the cockpit floor, one piece. When
   we lay these out, it's much easier for us to line everything up this way. It's very
   critical for everything to line up close to how it was on the boat for the final flooring
   pattern matching section to section.
2. Reference marks to separate sections and where it lines up are crucial. As noted in
   the pictures below, lines are made as an indication of where/how the grid lines up to
   the upper grid to the pass-through. These marks let us line up the templates before
   digitizing so your kit pattern all flows properly. Without these marks, it's a wild guess
   for us as we are just laying plastic on a table. Marking the template sections with a
   butting up reference is great as well. So A-A, B-B, C-C, etc. Again, it assists us in
   figuring out how everything lines up, which is essential.
3. Make sure marks / lines are fine, no.25" wise fat pen lines as our digitizing
   equipment has an accuracy of 1mm. Fat lines create a vast variable.
4. Marks do not have to be solid lines; dashes are just fine as the digitizing equipment
   fills in the spaces. Marks also do not have to be done with a straight edge etc. Our
   software smooths the kit out, within reasoning.
5. Be thorough to mark all hardware, latches, deck screws, hinges, etc. If they are not
   marked, we don't know they are there, and your kit will not have cutouts for them.
6. Mark the template in one spot with Make / Model / Year as well as bow forward and
   an arrow, clients name/info.
7. Please take quality pictures of the templates down and email them to us. This allows
   us to see the space physically, spot missed hardware, come up with design ideas,
   etc. Always keep in mind, we have no idea what the boat looks like; we are just
   laying out a pile of plastic; more information is better!
