Hi,
29ft SeaRay Sundancer 1992
I have attached two photos to this thread to highlight the condition of the deckhead now that I have removed some old wooden tongue & groove.
In the first photo you can see:
1) Darker orange colour which I believe is a good covering of glue adhesive (Still slightly sticky!)
2) A grey colour which seems to be the same glue as above but now dry & hard?
3) Yellow areas which are the perished bits of foam from a foam backed vinyl.
4) White which is the expanding foam used to insulate and hold tongue & groove in place.
In the second photo you can see:
The old slightly sticky/rubbery orange coloured glue which is covering a large area (Not patchy), which would be something I would reluctantly want to try and remove prior to recovering.
My first question is, can I just remove the two types of foam and leave the slightly sticky glue area alone, then glue a new foam backed headliner over the top ... Would it adhere properly.
I was surprised to find that this glue is still slightly sticky/rubbery after what looks to be many years.
My second question is, or can I use something like Thermozite as an insulator between the deckhead and a new foam backed headliner, also is Thermozite waterproof?
Many thanks,
Mark
