    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Snowmobiling!!! Just got a sled again after a 14 year hiatus. Nothing gives quite the rush....lol I haven't forgotten about the boat. I still need to get the carpet down on the deck and I really need warmer weather for that. I'll get her...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration A roll of carpet showed up today and I worked on getting some of the leftover glue off the deck. There are some spots where the glue and some of the felt backing stayed stuck to the deck. I bought a Bosch Oscillating Tool a while back for some...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Yeah, if you use it the way the directions read, it's instantly stuck forever. It wasn't worth the risk to me...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Ok, the next million dollar question, since I'm going carpet on the deck, what color? Same as the sides (medium/dark grey) or a lighter grey like the vinyl was? The only place the two will meet is the space forward the side panel and behind the...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration That's what I was thinking. With carpet it can off-gas through the carpet and maybe if I had a bare deck (no epoxy) it would breath in/through the wood? I guess I don't know. Contact cement might have been the better way to go with my...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I tested it, multiple times, and said multiple times how awesome this adhesive was. I have many samples that I can't hardly pull from the wood. But those are all small samples where the bubbles would not have shown up. In my tests, when the...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Quick recap about this fiasco. Saturday I did the carpet onto the hull sides. Went beautifully, turned out great, could not be happier. Yesterday, tried the vinyl with the same glue. The vinyl has a felt backing and I did some tests to get...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Yeah, I got rollers. I think it's too late. It doesn't seem to stick when I push them back down. Plus I'm at work now.

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Well, went and looked at it when I got up. Got a couple big air bubbles, like 12" diameter and a half inch tall. So, looks like I have a big mess to deal with. This really blows. About 90% looks good, nice and flat. I'm baffled. Don't...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Well I took the afternoon off today to lay some vinyl since its looking like the last warm day for probably a long time. First I tied the carpet up with wire to not be in the way then positioned the vinyl I had cut. Troweled on some...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Today, with the help of my neighbor, I got the carpet glued to the hull. Turned out great! I've never done this before, but thanks to Budski for the tips. Started with the rear two since those were the easiest. Then did the front two...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Cut some carpet tonight. Obviously it needs to be trimmed up. I also have the aluminum trim (3/16 x 1) cut that will go around the perimeter of the floor. I think I'm going to need to recruit some help when it comes time to glue. I think...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration It's "Alpha Vinyl". A quick google search will bring it up. It's thick (1/8"), and the glue is DAP Weldwood All Weather Outdoor Carpet Adhesive.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration No progress tonight, but, this Starcraft is now the only one I own (along with the FourWinns glasser). The little SC went to a new owner tonight. Three boats is really one too many. Not enough time to spread the love....
