Sorry for the huge photo as this was the first time I posted with photo,not too familiar on how to do correctly,Yes the beach sand is best match,you can order samples from Seadek website and they will send you various pieces of the colors you request in 5 MM thickness so that you can see exactly what you will get,Yes its a PAS (peel and stick) with a very strong adhesive on back,I also did a 20 MM helm pad that also looks and feels great.I had them made by a guy in Florida (Orlando Area) who comes to your boat (anywhere in Florida) he is always traveling thru out the state doing this type of job,he scans the area with hand held computer thing,then goes back home and downloads into his computer to make tempplate,no mistakes.Total job for both coaming pads $260.00 installed.
