Re: Repair to boat interier ie - headliner peeling/mildew damage to wall coverings
How about vinyl from Jo Ann fabrics and sprayable contact adhesive?
Well thats what I was thinking. They have marine vinyl at Jo Anns.
I am not sure if I am answering this in the proper spot of this post? The liner is directly applied (hard when pressed). I should mention that the liner is probably original but not positively sure. It (headliner) is also has large gaps where it was originally seamed so I am thinking that what I would like to do, is to remove what is there and apply new material. I just don't know what materials are available to me and the best way to apply them? I do not have pictures at this time but I will try to get some to post.
Basically if its just Glued to the fiberglass then rip it out and install Whatever you want back in there with more spray adhesive ( remember some of that spray glue is Very harmful and can overcome you if your not wearing a resperator ).
On the headliner .. they sometimes use mini cross supports overhead to which they stretch and staple the liner to. Most times such installation if from front to back. Its hard to explain .. but basically you lay your material side to side and tack it in the front bulkhead. Then fold the material backwards to its new tack point. Then lay your next side to side material across the same tackpoint as your first one and tack it.. then fold that backwards .. rinse and repeat.
Typically you can assume which way they went with ( forward to aft .. or aft to forward ) by a trim piece of wood to finalize the last tack points.
Its soo hard to explain this over the net .. but once you see how They did it this explanation might help you
