How do you get out a Hydro Turf Bubble?

Started installing a hydroturf mat today on a standup Yamaha. The first side went smooth. The second side developed a bubble (6 inches by 4) on top inside corner and to the inside.

Any ideas on how to fix it since the rest of it is stuck on tight? We used weldwood black and red glue if that helps.

Put a text-book or something heavy on it, and let it sit for over night.

Re: How do you get out a Hydro Turf Bubble?

Just an idea...may sound stupid but could work.

Could always get one of those meat injectors that have the syringe, inject some contact cement behind it..let it sit for a bit and then put something heavy against it over night.

You would have a couple small holes in your turf, but alot better than risking tearing the turf trying to peel it back.

Ahh I was thinking he meant there was a section he didn't put glue on and already had everything around it glued down.

Long day.
