So I rushed things a bit. This was about a half hour project, that I should've spent a bit more time on. The foam is peeling around the edges where the lip on the cradle is. The radius is just too tight for the amount of prep I put into it.

I think it peeled because of a few reasons:
- Inadequate amount of glue, just wasn't heavy enough right at the edges

- The surface of the cradle was/is too smooth for the glue to adhere well. I'm a bit scared to try epoxy, I'm thinking I'd end up with a puddle of orange goop. I think the answer is to try the contact cement again, but I'm going to lightly rough up the surface of the lip on the cradle with a wire wheel on a angle grinder. Just hit it enough to make it good and rough. Maybe a wire brush and doing it by hand would be enough as well.

- I cut it with a hot knife after it was stuck/rolled. The contact cement I used can be re-activated to some extent with heat. The glue was also pretty fresh when I cut it back. I think I'm going to wrap the whole thing up in stretch wrap on the next attempt and let it sit a few days and allow the glue to completely dry before I trim it back. Perhaps a small saw is the answer to trimming it versus the hot knife.

- I also think cutting the foam back at an angle would give it less strength to pull itself back on that edge.






It does not slide as easily as carpet, but it was by no means difficult to get the wheels under the boat. My new Viper hasn't been waxed up yet either, so that may come into play a bit. I actually could live with them being a bit stickier, how many times have you cursed your wheels for not sliding around?
