 Tools o Plastic putty knife 

• Acetone (Propan-2-one)
• Mineral Spirits
• Stiff nylon brush (if applicable) 
• 3-5 clean rags Videos of Removal: Watch a video demonstration of removal and cleaning on our website at www.SeaDek.com. Preparation Acetone and mineral spirits are highly flammable and can be dangerous if ingested. 
• Please use all precautions (protective eyewear, masks, well-ventilated area, etc.) when handling these products. Please view your state/country regulations for proper chemical handling. If you are unsure how certain chemicals will react to your surface, test a small discrete location before use. Before removal, allow the pads to sit in the sun for 30 minutes to help loosen the adhesive. 
• Removal 1) Begin by slowly pulling up one corner of the pad. It will take effort to remove the pad. It is best to remove the pad in one piece, as it is much more difficult to remove small torn pieces.
•  2) Use a rigid plastic scraping tool while pulling to release the bond between the pad and the surface. 
• 3) In cold climates, a heat gun may be used to help relieve the adhesive.
• 4) If the pad starts to tear, use the plastic scraping tool to loosen the pad. You can also use acetone or mineral spirits with the tool to help loosen the adhesive. 
• 5) Repeat for all pads being removed. 
• 6) To remove the PSA (adhesive), use a clean rag to apply a layer of mineral spirits to the area. If you are only removing one pad, ensure the mineral spirits do not get onto neighboring pads. 
• 7) Spread out the rag and soak with mineral spirits. Let is sit for 5-10 minutes to help break down the PSA. 
• 8) Repeat until the whole area has been soaked in mineral spirits. 
• 9) Use a plastic scraper, working from the outer edge inward, to remove the PSA. 
• 10) If the surface you are cleaning is not a smooth surface, use a stiff nylon brush to remove the PSA form all crevices. 
• 11) If there are small amounts of PSA residue, acetone and a rag can be used for removal. 
• 12) Wipe the entire surface with a clean, dry cloth and let it dry thoroughly. 

 For removing dirt, footprints, suntan lotion, fish blood, rust, and other hard to clean residues from your SeaDek, we recommend Dek Magic cleaner, which was specifically developed for easy cleaning of PE/EVA nonskid materials.

For best results, spray Dek Magic liberally to cover the area needing to be cleaned. With a medium bristled boat brush, lightly work the product in. Let the cleaner sit for 3-5 minutes then use water to dampen the affected area and lightly scrub for a second time. Rinse the cleaner off thoroughly and dry with a clean towel. If you encounter a stubborn stain, repeat these steps as needed.

•  Unpack SeaDek upon arrival. SeaDek may be rolled or folded inside the shipping package. This is acceptable for short-term transportation, however during long-term storage, permanent curling or creasing can occur. For long-term storage it is recommended that all pads be stored flat. To aid the release of any curling that may have occurred, weighted objects can be placed onto the material (eg. books, plywood, etc.). Large, flat objects are preferable to small, pointed weights. 

• Additionally, a light amount of heat can be applied to relax the material into a flat position. This can be accomplished by leaving the pads outside on a flat surface such as concrete. NOTE: Long term exposure to humidity/moisture can compromise the pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) and it is not advised to relax your materials in high humid areas or areas where the product could be rained on. Store in a dark/flat/dry/cool area. SeaDek paper backing, which protects the PSA, can be affected by humidity over time. If stored in a dry, cool area, the PSA can be preserved for later installation. 
• Storage in a dark area (ie. no sunlight) will ensure that no fading occurs and that all colors will match upon later installation. After installation, the preferred method of storage is that the boat (or any other surface of application) be covered. SeaDek pads are very durable, but they will last longer and the colors will fade more slowly if they are not exposed to the elements when not in use. 
• Good practices include: keeping the boat in a garage, covered with a canvas boat cover, in a covered boat slip, etc. Situations to avoid: Avoid placing SeaDek adjacent to reflective surfaces. In addition, avoid leaving inflatable pool toys, water bottles, glass, or other reflective surfaces on or near SeaDek for extended amounts of time. These objects can refract/reflect light, thereby concentrating the beams to a level which can be damaging to the material. Refer to the SeaDek warranty section II and the document
