No more mold!!! So excited to share this latest update. My debate from the Previous article about how to insulate the V-Berth was resolved! I wanted to get Armaflex SA but it was going to be at least $89 a 3x4ft sheet! I found a dealer that was trying to get rid of 1 inch thick Armaflex SA! They sold each sheet to me for $50! I bought 7 sheets so I could not only use it for the V-Berth but also in the main cabin seating area.
Next step: Finishing getting the latex adhesive they used to glue the carpet to the fiberglass walls in the V-Berth. This has been incredibly hard as even with 3M Adhesive Remover it comes off in tiny flakes.
Here I go! Lol even with the mask airing out a boat enough to get the smell of the adhesive remover out is near to impossible. I lost a fair amount of brain cell over the course of this project.
Finally Adhesive has been removed! Yessss! Now to cut and apply the sheets of insulation. I decided to use the old carpeting that was on the walls as a pattern to cut the new insulation.
Unfortunately the carpet wasn’t even cut to the exact right size! It was cut close to the size then the extra carpet was sort of crammed into the crannies. But I did my best.
One sheet cut and placed. I then continued the rest…
I now have it almost completed! Only problem is that since the walls of the boat are slanted the flat corner of the bottom of the sheets is left with a gap. There is a space between the bottom and the insulation… Next problem for another blog post 🙂
