Roof-linings
Posted: Thu, 04 Jun 2009, 6:40 pm
Do remember I've got an Ansfold not Portafold - is it, perhaps, only Annies which had this inner lining, due to their simpler roof-shape? I've never looked closely enough at a Porty to notice this - Matt, can you comment please?
This might well explain (to me, that is) everyone's preoccupation with dampness, sweating & being dripped-on at night! I painted my roof inside with a very thin layer of celly topcoat, being the lightest finishing treatment I could think of, as my roof is so very heavy. This has zero anti-sweat resistance, yet in chilly & rainy nights, there's never been any sign of condensation/dampness whatsoever. My mate Alan (Anorakite) who also has an Ansfold, is similarly indifferent to internal sweating.
We do our sweating, however, when erecting them!
