Tools Needed: Before diving into the installation process, make sure you have the following tools on hand:
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Slice tool
- Piece of wood or straight edge
- Speed square
- High-quality cotton cloths
- Dawn dish soap
- Water
- Scrub brush
Prepping Your Steps:
- Start with a clean, dry surface by removing dirt, grime, and any adhesive residue. Use Dawn dish soap and a scrub brush for effective cleaning.
- Prep the surface with isopropyl alcohol using a high-quality cloth rag. Avoid paper towels or dyed rags to prevent surface issues during installation.
Cutting the Step Covers (if necessary): 3. If your steps require a custom fit, use a straight edge and a sharp razor to cut the SC Wake Seadek RV Step Covers to the correct size. The box they came in can serve as a template.
- Carefully score the pad from the backside, ensuring the measurement is accurate.
Installation Process: 5. Score the paper backing down the middle using a slice tool. This ensures controlled and precise installation.
- Peel the paper liner about an inch up and down from the middle, creating a crease for a tent effect. Reposition the pad on your steps using this crease as a guide for initial tacking.
- Hold the center section that you've just tacked down and pull the paper backing off the lower half. Allow the pad to lay flat and apply firm pressure from the center towards the outer edge.
- Once half of the pad is secured, repeat the process for the other side. Apply pressure evenly, focusing on the outer edges to ensure a strong bond between the pad and the surface.
With these straightforward steps, you can easily install SC Wake Seadek RV Step Covers, providing a durable and visually appealing solution for your RV steps. Enjoy the added safety and comfort on your travels with this simple DIY upgrade. Safe travels!
