GS75 is approximately 2mm thick (+ 3m VHB adhesive thickness) and is supplied by the linear foot (ft), from either a 2ft wide or 4ft roll.
Normal level adhesion (most situations): Where installing on smooth gelcoat, aluminium and steel surfaces, simply preparing the adhesion area by cleaning with isopropyl alchohol before peeling the GatorSkinz™ backing paper and sticking down is normally sufficient. Isopropyl can be purchased from computer shops, pharmacies, and online. Please read the safety warning information before using and always use latex gloves and other appropriate PPE.
High level adhesion: Being supplied with the same 3M adhesive backing as KeelShield, GatorSkinz™ has superior adhesion when the surface is prepared in the same way. The KeelShield installation video can be seen here: http://youtu.be/q42qqfafjpk - please follow similar steps when installing this product where high level adhesion is required. As you'll see, fitting in a warm and dry environment is essential for full adhesion and isopropyl alcohol is additionally required to prepare the surface before fitting. Isopropyl can be purchased from computer shops, pharmacies, and online. Additionally, an appropriate quantity of 3M Primer 94 or KeelShield Activator wipes will be required at extra cost - please read the safety warning information before using and always use latex gloves and other appropriate PPE.
Please ask if further information is required.

"We need a prop in a big hurry and Mark and Paul pulled out all the stops to get it to us in record time. Every time I need something it's right first time and on time. It genuinely doesn't get better than specialist small craft"

Propeller replacement in an amazing turn round time.
★★★★★
"On a job in the wilds of Lincolnshire and the workmen on the pontoon hit the propeller on their self-propelled pontoon on rocks and other debris, it was chewed up to less than half the working diameter and one blade was broken in half. A phone call to Specialist Small Craft had a replacement propeller despatched almost immediately and it was with us the following morning. FANTASTIC SERVICE plus the knowledge and experience of the team at Specialist Small Craft is second to none. "
