Re: Phunkie Project Portafold

Re: Phunkie Project Portafold

So with the right hand side riveted on, it’s now time to turn attention to front and rear walls and the upper door. The upper door did require some considerable repair work. All the “damage” probably happened, either when it was pulled from its mould or when the inner and outer skins were clamped an...

Re: Phunkie Project Portafold

I was then able to sand and add 3 coats of colour yesterday (Saturday). picture 559_(640_x_480).jpg Whilst waiting for the paint to “go off”, ‘cos I hate watching paint dry, I finished off the lower door catc...

Re: Phunkie Project Portafold

Just a small update, managed to a little bit today (waiting for parts, so couple of hours around lunch time). Didn’t want the side kicking around getting the new paint damaged, so cut the rubber cord seals for the end channels, glued the channels and the cord (on one side only) and then fitted them....

Hook up flap first, as it’s plastic we need to have some adhesion and flexability so firstly a coat of adhesion promoter then a couple of light coats of etch primer. This ensures that the textured ...

"plastic" window trims

Another request.............
Where would I obtain the "plastic" edge trim that fits round the window appatures.
picture528_640_x_480.jpg
picture530_640_x_480.jpg
It looks like edge trim for hardboard, or similar, panels.
Any advice would be appreciated .
