It was a noobie error but end result, aside from increased weight, was a noticeably stiffer deck where the Vulkem was. That meant outer edges for several inches were flexi as when made but most of the inbetween was more "unified". Slight pressure from hip or hand seemed to translate to control much better to me. Downside was that stiffness, or rather the transition from the edges of the stiffness to the softer/flexier parts, caused a lot more rapid pin air formation. Nothing a bit of sealant didn't fix right up but in the end may have hastened a great mat's demise.Geoffrey Levenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985724057703601570noreply@blogger.com
