    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration I checked and made dang sure I wasn't putting any heat into the aluminum. It didn't even get warm so were good. Staying up late tonight are we?

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Ya know, I actually found the perfect extrusion for the bottom of the side panels. Have you ever noticed what bathroom stalls and urinal dividers are held together with? Usually nice "t"'s or "L"'s, brushed and anodized. I'll have to check...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Well, the contact cement held pretty good too. I'd have to say though I like the outdoor carpet glue better. Not near the smell and you have a little time to get it laid right. I epoxied a couple scraps to do another test. I'm going to use...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Tonight I picked up some DAP contact cement (solvent based) and tried it on another vinyl sample and epoxied wood. It stuck instantly. I'm going to let it fully cure a day and then try to peel it off. This stuff is nasty. The only round...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Testing continued... This is the carpet after a couple days in water, then dried out and, then me pulling all the fibers out. 99% of the backing is still stuck to the aluminum. The Weldwood Outdoor Carpet Adhesive (solvent based) worked great...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration The carpet is still in the water and as of last night after 6 hours of soak it was unaffected. The vinyl is still curing, but one issue I see is that this vinyl is kind of thick, like almost an 1/8" thick, and the small sample has a tendancy to...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Well, says a 75lb roller. Also, adhesive must develop "legs" before setting the carpet in it. I'm waiting for legs right now to set a vinyl sample on a piece of epoxied wood. Thanks for the input.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Carpet Glue test #1.....I took a carpet sample and some Weldwood Outdoor Carpet Adhesive (solvent based) and stuck it to a piece of dirty, un-prepped aluminum I had laying around. It took a few days to fully set up, but, it's stuck for good. If...

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Thank You fat fanny! I'm hopeful that progress will start again shortly.... I don't think anyone knows what motivates him. He'll beat me by a year, and do a couple smaller boats as well.

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Yeah, positive. I know I tape measured it (can't remember the real numbers) and I'm wider than the 74" that the Nautolex comes. I know it was roughly 4-5 inches short per side and that was to where the side panels sit, so there's another 6-8"...
