I pulled out one of my trusses that I used to work on the roof and screwed it to the 2 saw horses so I can get up there and finish up the back area. Now, if the weather co-operates I can get that buttoned up. If you want to do something, you will find a way. If you don't, you will find an excuse. ------------------------------------------------- Good judgement comes from experience. A lot of experience, comes from bad judgement. fulltimin • View posts Home is where we Park It.

Adding this piece will lengthen it to about 20 feet long. I used some fiberglass cloth, and epoxy, and applied the first coat today at the last joint. Typically, I'll use about 3 of these at the joint to hold things together. Fortunately, epoxy will cure in a few hours and more than one coat can be applied in a day. fulltimin • View posts Home is where we Park It.

I then sanded the area around where the 2 pieces joined, and made sure they were the same height, in order to get ready to epoxy this side also. fulltimin • View posts Home is where we Park It. Senior Member Joined: 12/14/2003 View Profile Posted: 04/19/22 08:34pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Next step was to fill in the gap area with some extra epoxy. I mixed up a very small batch and proceeded to fill it in. I left the epoxy a little bit proud. For the younger crowd, which probably haven't heard that term before ... It means to leave the epoxy stand out a little bit, or "higher" than the surrounding surfaces. When that cures, I can then sand the excess off, so it is flush with the plywood. Then I can add the fiberglass cloth and epoxy to strengthen the joining of the 2 pieces of plywood. fulltimin • View posts Home is where we Park It.

I did get to add 3 layers of Epoxy over fiberglass cloth to make the joint much more stable. This is for the drivers side skirting. One step closer to getting that installed. Wahoo!
