Re: best foam tape for weather proofing hatches?

Go to Grainger's website. Type in D section rubber seal. Lots of sizes and good quality.

Re: C-19 Builder in Wilmington, NC?

Put a grinder to some of it. If its polyester, it will stink like poly does.

Re: Where did you build your boat?

Buy the shelter. In a 2 car garage, there isn't room for that boat and a car too. I would get a 12x24 shelter if you can swing it. Or talk your wife into parking in the driveway during the build. :lol:

Re: Setting hinges and latches

Benny, I think I would route the hinge bed about an 1/8th inch(or so) too large in every dimension. Carefully wrap the hinges with masking tape to give a little wiggle room for primer and paint, then finish with a layer of clear packing tape. Be careful to keep the hinge shape as fair as possible.

Re: Heat Lamps?

They need to be on a timer because if you turn your back, your project will be in flames. I would strongly suggest that you go with a heater that will h...

The use of bonding materials has exploded in the last 10 years or so for auto collision repair. Lord Fusor is not the only brand avai...

Re: Curacao CS 25

You could bond the tube to the top with automotive urethane window sealant. GM uses it to bond the SMC body panels to the roll structure. Its nearly impossible to remove when cured. 3-M window weld fast urethane #08609 is great stuff. If you want help with it, call a mobile auto glass installer. The...
