Its slow and ive got a couple odd jobs one signed up a shade sale made with phocertex over a lania po area. Im suposed to get a call in the am with a deposite on a headliner job i looked at yesterday. Foam backed vinyl glues to the cabin roof the seams are covered with a wood look plastic t channel.
So im asking what is the best glue id like to roll brush
It is 4 strips 12' long by. 3' wide. The boat is a. 40'+ long 21' beam. Power cat
Got the contract for the headliner today
Was hoping for some tips glueing quarter inch foam back
Mike,
cleaning off the old glue is most important. There is a Weldwood cement is about the best.

ya I figure cleaning it important, have you taken on this b4 paul ? did you spray id like not to ive always been successful btuck rplling when doing carpet or hulliner but ive never tackled a large headliner yet
Hey Mike, I've been on vacation for 2 weeks so didn't see this. I use DAP Landau Top and Trim adhesive. For large projects I spray using a binks type sprayer. Small stuff I use a brush.
Last big project I did like that I cleaned off the old adhesive with a wire-wheel on a drill. Luckily the old stuff was so dry it just came off like sand and dust.

Mike, Spraying always easier and even. But you will be fine with a brush. If it soaks in to the foam give it two coats.
thank guys I pulled the vinyl down and scraped off as much foam as I could then with a power sander sanded the roof smooth June I did use dap weldwood landau trim and top adhesive and I did brush the job spraying may have been easier
time frame last Friday pulled the trim scraped it Saturday sanded it, Monday took off. Tuesday had the starboard 2 panels wensday the port 2 and today put up the trim and installed the TV in the hatch in the roof and cleaned up in the morning

Wow Mike! Looks amazing! Hope the customer is thrilled. Recent comment from an owner - "I thought it was supposed to look like that - it's a "plush" look" (saggy/baggy headliner). Yeah... OK.

Nice job Mike.
thanks guys you should see the canvas on this boat. the boat is a 48' cat 21' beam built in S Africa and inside it was clear to see some fit and finnish issues. apparently there are no good canvas people down there the bridge enclosure looked like C_*%p 3 fastners per window
and the aft deck lounge seat cover

After a few beers that looks like my work :o
Sure looks like a home machine. Maybe 12 stitches per inch.

Well the customer is in canada but his wife had a issue with the hatches. They. Were welded with caulk probable 5200 and the inner ring could not be removed to insert a welt like the factory did. So i spent the day tryi g a differ t way hot melti g glur to hold the welt and sti k it under the flang best i could.
She was understanding of my problem and it doese look better now

I dont know how eager ill be to take on another. Im sure ill ask more. I may get a rear shade top on this boat. About 15' wide by 3' behind the bridge cover a rear lounge.
Oh ya turns out the owner did that crappy sewi g and made the bridge enosure. 3 fastners on a. 54" wide window lol.
Yeah, you have to be really careful when criticizing the existing canvas/upholstery on a boat. Never know who did it. LOL :D
