[QUOTE="EYDavis, post: 301699, member: 10661"] So we finally had some rainfree and garage friendly days... Finished the trailer. Used Lowes indoor/outdoor carpet (12$ per linear foot but the guy 'rounded' to 16") for the 5 foot bunks...literally a linear "foot" at lowes did the whole things. Scotch guarded the heck out of it and plan to silicone/Teflon periodically. Very impressed with brush-on rustoleum for the trailer, but if I had it to do over I'd thin it out as if to spray. Still turned out good. Now that I'm assembled I'll go sand with 150 the rough spots and roll a second thinned coat. Had to get something done to the boat today. Actually trailered the boat, put on the kleen strip aircraft on the INside down to the first row of rivets then drove to the corner coin wash----now that got some stuff done. You shoulda seen the crap lining up to go down the plug hole. only problem is i think a lot of old seam sealer came off too. gonna need some gluvit i guess but i wonder about that gflex. I'll post afters maybe later tomorrow but that got most of that old paint and all of that carpet adhesive off...feeling much better about the inside. I talked to the wetlander dude. I think I'm just gonna scuff the outside then go with his product. Probably after a gluvit or flex type seal. I really don't want to fool with stripping the outside. Has anybody ever used any pipe insulation over a gunwale, then used some kinda blackish PVC (what's it called...for sprinklers maybe) over that? I'm thinking it would be good for sound and a pretty cheap fix for a dinged up gunwale. Probably secured with drilled (gasp) holes under the gunwale then wiretied on. I ramble. Pics tomorrow. Love reading the forum. [/QUOTE]
