Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

If you had done the entire roof project all at the same time instead of screwing around with the other silly stuff the glue would certainly have been good.

I hope for your sake it's still good.

How many years ago do you start the roof anyway, I forget now. Obviously somewhere between 1 and 5+ years.

Bruce, Bruce, Bruce. You went off your meds again and added that extra shot of caffeine, didn't you? Lol.

I'm just messing with you. It's all good.

It was about a year and a half ago.

Definitely a project with an anticipated end. I hope to be back on track with actual progress.

I want to glue the Tpo roofing at the back next, hopefully today. That assumes the glue I originally bought is still good.

Hopefully, the caffeine and testosterone levels have returned to normal levels.... Lol.

Yeah, I think there is some twisted humor there, somewhere.

So what does that have to do with rebuilding a motorhome??? It seems like the answer is "nothing".

The answer to your question is... (drum roll, please) ...

If you were getting ready to build a box, which would be subjected to pressure, twisting, and the big one which is vibration, it would seem to me that using a stronger material would be a better idea, hopefully, so it will hold up longer.

That is the purpose of the test to see how fiberglass performs compared to Por 15 with fiberglass cloth, Epoxy with fiberglass cloth, and Fiberglass resin with fiberglass cloth.

I have finished this test, and I must say, I am blown away with the results.

Now I know what I'll be using for a couple of other projects in the future.

Clear as mud, I know. :)

I agree. Let’s get back on track with the actual work on the MH, and not the little stuff like that.

Gentlemen, it is his life, his motor home, his business. We are just here to read. Anyway, thats why I come here. Not much on RVnet to read the last few years.

Thanks Bruce, been thinkin the same for a number of yrs.

I'm not trying to be mean but if you spent more time working on it and less time screwing around with stuff like this you would have been done years ago.
