  A couple thing's to add to icoultha's excellent  EVA sheet instruction's, of course wait till last to install. To keep oil and grease off it, but that will clean. Fiberglass needs to be very clean and wipe down with ****-atone just before install.  When you dry fit, and you need to trim a little off use a sharp utility knife and good straight edge.  Warm weather will help. It's coming, probably needs to be 50 + degrees

  Mine is MarineMat, not EVA. But I expect to be fairly similar as to how to get the best result using a PSA backed stick down.

  does anybody have pics of how the bimmni top folds into the radar arch I need visual measurements and I can't put my top on because of the shrink wrap please I need the help 

  
  You may want to start another topic so others can chime in with pics.  I'm sure there are many out there with the right pictures!   Your boat sure is coming along nicely.  Definitely been nice watching the updates on this post.

  Man that was a chore, and how many new  Rinker cuss word's are there now. Most boaters do not know how to maintain a boat. Should not own one, Or to lazy to find out. To tight to pay someone.  Shame, many hour's on that task.
