Tim Mills Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I've been removing the carpet in my boat and installing Nautolex. Some mistakes along the way but its coming along well. Some pictures: Bow Before Prepped: After Stern Deck Before Marine Ply and Aluminium Hatches Wrapped in Vinyl Stern Deck After Bow Deck Before Vinyl Hatches and Marine Ply Bow Deck After Port Before Port Prepped Port After Not great picture but you get the idea For those considering this type of project these are some supplies and suppliers I used: Stainless Fasteners- Pacific Fasteners Etobicoke Marine Expoxy-Noahs Etobicoke (cheaper in states) Nautolex Marine Vinyl-Outdoor Fabrics Canada-Barrie Marine Ply-Robert Bury Brampton Dap Weld Wood Contact Cement-Home Depot Buffalo Nautolex Adhesive-West Marine Buffalo tinboats.net is a good site to do research on projects and supplies.

Tim Mills Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 very well done..... question if i may..you placed the .marine ply wood , then you glued the vinyl down to it?? I just placed the plywood and hatches in the boat to double check the size. Then I glued or contact cemented the vinyl to the wood panels. Then installed the wrapped hatches and panels in the boat.

sauce Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Nice work. Looks like new. You are probably the only person that will ever notice any imperfections. How thick plywood did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mills Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Thanks for the positive feedback. I got some good advice from previous OFC threads and tinboats.net Sauce- I used 3/4" ply to match what I replaced. You can get the Nautolex Vinyl cheaper from a US supplier like Defender and get it shipped to a US Mailbox. One problem is that the Nautolex adhesive cannot be shipped to PO Box but they will ship to a person at a US address. They won't ship to Canada and certain states. I bought the Nautolex Adhesive at West Marine Buffalo. I used the DAP Weldwood contact cement because some people recommended it on tinboats.net Hopefully it will hold up. Nautolex Vinyl- $400/11yrds 72x33 SS Hardware $50 Contact Cement 3x$30 us Nautolex Adhesive $50us/gallon Marine Ply-3 x $100/sheet Misc Chip Brushes, SS Staples $20 Vinyl Roller $20 Epoxy Sealer $175.00 Accetone $20 Edge Trim CTC $20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
