Carpet graphics for bass style boats

[thewvsignguy]

What is the standard media and laminate for carpet graphics?

I was thinking of something with a removable adhesive with a non-slip laminate.

Any suggestions?

On that Carpet Graphics from General Formulations. How do you ensure that it bonds properly to the carpet? I have 2 customers that we have used this as well as a non skid laminate, and it is coming up off of the boat after a weekend tournament. Any advice for how you get it to adhere without coming up? I thought maybe it was a bad batch the first time, but we have had it come off twice and are having to replace the graphics again.
We have also used IJ40 as someone had also recommended that, with the same results. Any advice is much appreciated!

Just the fact that it's in a boat and there's absolutely no way to keep water from migrating under it would seem to make this a challenge at best. I was at a 3M demo last week and they were showing off their new rough wall vinyl which was pretty amazing but they even stated that the top edge of the installation should be sealed with silicone calk.

I have screen printed outdoor boat carpeting in the past with NazDar's DA series with catalyst with no problems but it is a definitely permanent application.
