Wear and Tear Pads



WearAndTear Pads Prevent Fibreglass Damage
WearAndTear Pads provide long lasting protection against chafe to fibreglass gelcoat surfaces caused by sheets, furling lines and many other areas where fibreglass gelcoat is subjected to repeated abrasion. Easy to fit and visually attractive in polished stainless steel, each WearAndTear pad unobtrusively protects your gelcoat surfaces.

What are ‘WearAndTear Pads’?
WearAndTear Pads comprise strips of ultra thin, flexible, laser cut marine grade stainless steel, fitted with a high specification self adhesive double sided backing, ready for immediate application. They can be fixed semi-permanently to any flat or curved gelcoat or varnished surface.What sizes are available?
WearAndTear Pads are available ex stock in 2 standard lengths; 6? (150mm) and 9?(225mm).  Both lengths are 2? (50mm) wide. They are also available in longer lengths if required.

What limitations do WearAndTearpads have?
‘WearAndTear pads’ will not stretch around complex curvatures.  They are therefore only suitable for straight sections of cabin tops and cockpit sides, etc.

Recent Testimonials For WearAndTear Pads

From Dennis (Nov 2009) …. What a good idea these are - not just for avoiding wear and tear - but also to cover damage. I have had the edge of a cooker scrape the cabin door of my new Hanse 315 and I need 2 of your 9 x 2 strips.

From M Stevenson … In short fantastic, worked well all this season in hot climate and take quite a lot of hard wear and still stuck on fast.

From John W. (USA) … Got it!, Love it!, will recommend it to my boating friends.

From Simon C. (UK) … I am very happy with your new product.

From Barry (Ireland) … Good to chat re the Stainless Steel anti- chafe pads- These are THE best I have seen since one I got in the USA in the 1970s.

From Clive (UK) … I was surprised at how thin they were, but this makes them easy to fit. As per the instructions, a gentle pre-bend into the required shapes prior to fixing makes all the difference.

From Richard (USA) … I’m buying some of your pads. I’ve been envisioning this exact design for a couple of years now. Glad you now have them available.

From John (Australia) … Just received my pads. Easy to fit. Look good. May need 2 more.
