I have a related but different question.
what glue are people using to stick it down? Been using Kwik adhesive stuff and it doesn't seem to work.. grip comes off board eventually. Any other better options ?
****, I can't believe what I'm reading.. Eppo asking for advice!
It surely is Covid related and I definetly will not give my humble opinion and be hi jacked with
all your brands that you constantly pimp. Funny though........
Mate, I can't believe that there is something kite related that you aren't a expert at.

Is it contact adhesive? I just use the bunnings stuff and it sticks like **** to fur
Yeh the contact adhesive stuff from Bunnings. but it doesn't seem to stick for long.

I use 3m super 77. You can buy it online from Signet. Not cheap but definitely worth it
Prep the surface well
Can't beat $11 moroday adhesive mat for value if you don't mind cutting your own pattern. Closed cell eva foam, feels like a similar density to the tail pad maybe a bit firmer (called rubber in the description for some reason).

Covered the top in masking tape & drew the cut lines. 3 discs on the rotary tool for a wider groove & taped a wooden spacer to the handle for depth, I cut a bit past halfway.
Going well on my surfboard so far. Hot glue on the front corners prevents spray around the rail peeling it up. Should've cut the grooves wider though. Comes in a 3mm thick 3m roll ($20) aswell, might try this thinner stuff on my foil board.

Look around for deck pad with 3m adhesive backing on Ali express if you don't mind the wait.
