If you use a wood block when working the aluminum flange shut you can reduce the hammer marks in the aluminum .

Great video - very informative. Redoing mine right now - I’ve had a few growing pains - but your video has helped me a lot so far!

Getting ready to do my 25ft Voyager tri-toon. This video helped change my decision from a vinyl wrap to replacing the skin itself. Thank you!

I considered a wrap as well. It's way more expensive and probably wouldn't turn out as good. Good luck.

A wood block is very helpful when hammering the aluminum back into place. Thanks for the video.

Hi. The seats have never been redone. It just gets covered any time we're not using it and once a year I apply 303 Protectant.

Fully enjoyed watching this and you took the fear out of doing it myself. So what size metal did you take out VS the size you put back in? I see sizes available at .032 so trying to compare before buying.

Yes, I got marine glue from the same company I mentioned in the video, but I believe it's readily available anywhere I just can't remember what it was called, sorry. I used a paint roller to put it down. I believe it also waterproofs the plywood decking.

great job, since the inside of skin is not as exposed to elements, would paint stripping or reversing the skin have been a workable solution for you? looks like you preserved the old skin without banging it out.

The new skin is very affordable, I dont think repainting the old stuff would look good, or hold up.

I am not sure if it did or not, but I can tell you I had zero issues with anything, no squeaks, no rattling, no corrosion, nothing. I would do a few dabs of silicone just to be sure, however you could always squeeze some in after the fact, should you need it.

I mentioned it in the video but in case you didn't catch it, I got the vinyl flooring from a company in the states.......... Sparta Carpet or BoatCarpetSales.com, same company.......I did a ton of searching to find the cheapest flooring and they are by far the best price and I believe their product is as good as it comes.

Many report that corrugated fencing does not lay flat once installed due to being rolled and the rounded corners do not like good, I cant really tell by your video? We just dont like the look of smooth fencing, your thought? Thanks

@iveneverdonethisbefore8390

Ай бұрын

I’m not quite sure what you mean but for my application, the sheet metal slid into channel at the top and the bottom of the fencing-rails so this was not an issue. but I would think the corrugated sheet metal would be flatter and less wavy that non-corrugated since the corrugation gives it a bit of structure.

Wonder if spraying the rail with penetrating oil if that would have made taking the panel out easier

Instead of sliding it out, if you weren't planning on re-using the metal, why not just unscrew it and fold it out of the grooves and then bend the metal after its out? Is that not possible?

@iveneverdonethisbefore8390

I am not entirely sure what you mean but yes, if you are not re-using the sheet metal then you can bang it right out, cut it out, whatever is easiest. But you could also use the old pieces as a template for the length and height for the new pieces.

The grease is not necessary and will cause problems laetr. You're going to hve greas running n the panel.
