IMPORTANT!!!IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED on boats with hulls that have multiple curves, radical strakes and chines that protrude, or over rivets and reinforced welding on the hull or keel of the boat. These hull designs are very difficult for the ScuffBuster to conform to and will not allow the adhesive to properly adhere to the hull, resulting in product failure.Installation should NOT be performed when temperatures are below 60°F or above 100°F. The adhesive may not bond/adhere properly to the boat hull and will result in adhesive failure. This is a recommendation directly from 3M.When working with or bending this product, ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES to prevent injury to yourself and others. This product can and will cut your skin if not handled properly.The ScuffBuster is NOT designed to prevent damage in the event of a collision impact. This product is designed to prevent scuff marks, abrasions, and minor damage from trailering.Installation instructions provided in the package must be strictly followed as to not compromise the full bonding capabilities of the 3M adhesive.PROTECT YOUR WATERCRAFT WITH PREMIER PRODUCTS FROM MEGAWAREA Commitment to Excellence in Product Development and Quality StandardsMegaware KeelGuard developed the industry’s first patented, do-it-yourself keel protector in 1992.
