Do you guys think this stuff would work or be too thin? Just looking for alternatives thanks.

I've heard of guys using yoga mats.  That's pretty cheap

I'm a dealer for HT. If we do a co-op I can get for cheap...  Reall not worth trying to do all these funky alternitives.

I was unable to find any deck-grip for my board and one day came across a Nike yoga mat for $20..and stuck it on...It's still on (6 months now) and works ok..but not perfect..Here's a couple of pics.

Yoga Pad guys: What do you use for adhesive, a spray on contact cement maybe?
Hydro Turf works great, but I understand people looking for something under $100....

I used a little bottle of some kind of industrial strength supa glue (about $15)...Down the center and around the edge..I'll see if I've still got the bottle to check the name.

I then ran a bead of silicon around the edge..and it has not moved..or even started to lift anywhere..and I'm out on it almost every day.
