Can EVA foam flooring be wrapped?

[Basshound92]

Just bought a 1995 Procraft V200B that needs new carpeting. I don't really care for carpet though so I really would like to use EVA foam flooring. My problem is that the space between the boat flooring and the storage hatches is so large it would have to be wrapped but I'm not so sure this stuff can be wrapped. Product I'm looking at is only 5mm thick(a little less than 1/4" I think) which makes me think that with a razor knife and a heat gun I think it could be done but what are y'alls thoughts on this? Anyone have experience trying it or just with the material in general?

 

Thanks in advance!

I would be a little worried about UV...and more worried about hooks.

Ive seen old EVA get that dried out texture that tends to flake.

Are you talking about this stuff?  I have it in my kayak, it's awesome.  I don't think you'd be able to wrap anything with it though.  It will follow subtle contours, but not 90* corners.

These two products are totally UV resistant.

Yeah talking about something similar its a amazon knock off version. I've seen people on youtube basically molding it with hear to use for cosplay outfits lol

I don't think I'd use a knock off on a bass boat.
