| Today's task was to fabricate the upholstery overlay's for the interior of the cabin doors. I'm making fiberglass panels that match |
|
| the contour of the interior of the doors. I will glue tweed fabric (tweed is the best for working with compound curves) to the |
|
| fiberglass and wrap and glue it around the edges. then I will glue/velcro/attach these to the interior of the doors. This solves the |
|
| problem of how to finish off the ends of the interior upholstery/fabric. Most RV's that I've seen just have a cut edge, which isn't |
|
| what I want. I got the idea from the window trim rings, and in essence this whole interior door is a big window trim ring. |
|
| Unfortunately I spent the entire morning around town looking (to no avail) for mold release so I could apply to the interior of the |
|
| doors using them as the mold for the panel. I ended up using Saran wrap and Duct tape. The duct Tape works much better, It |
|
| doesnt' look like much when it's applied, but it does the job very well and after two layers of fibergalss are laid over it, the seams |
|
| and edges of the duct tape disappear. Tomorrow I'll do the other door. |
