Trying to DIY seadek floor
I am wanting to install seadek flooring myself on my boat. I know I need to cut the templates and then I am going to take the templates to a guy with a CNC machine to cut for me. Has anyone done this. He wants the templates made out of cardboard but having a problem figuring it out. I looked on YouTube and saw people using Mylar paper. I guess I could make the Mylar paper templates and then cut the templates from cardboard. Please let me know if you have done this and can help with suggestions. If you have a Prokat 2860 SC and have templates that would be awesome. I would be willing to pay for a copy of templates!

I have to make some templates that are wider than the Mylar sheets seadek sells in their kits. Was wondering if anyone had made their own templates and how they had it cut.

I sent my templates back to SeaDek for cutting. My pieces came out very good.
SeaDek has a YouTube video for making templates.

I recently installed myself. Pretty easy to do. I used the Mylar and then cut with a sharp knife.
Make sure it's positioned right before removing paper. Mine was slightly off (2" of corner was down) pulled up and it tore right across. SeaDek said too bad. I know it's my fault but come on I didn't pull that hard and given the premium price shouldn't tear so easy.
Once it sticks its down for good. It's half off on Black Friday if you can wait.
