new roof
Well, after a lot of research and some vital information from the learned gentleman, I have sourced all the parts to totally rebuild the roof. Now comes the difficult bit...

Re: new roof
Hi Dave,
Glad to hear that
What sheet material are you using?
Is the weekend camp at your place going to be a "roof raising" celebration?
Cheers,
Robin.

Re: new roof
Have fun with the flocking Dave
I've seen the kit Steve got - probably the same as yours with a puffer ball? Looks like hard work!
We had a guy came up to us at the Ripon show a couple of years ago - said he worked for Searle and it was a horrible job which they used to get paid extra for.
I suppose they would have used compressed air though - probably a lot faster and easier, but also probably a lot of fibres floating in the air.
Don't forget pictures, especially the flocking procedure
Cheers,
Robin.

Does this mean holding your fingers in a wallsocket while doing it???bigdave wrote:I will be applying it electrostatically
What does this Flocking entail though? Is this some sort of insulation in the roof?

Re: new roof
Basically its the original finish. Have a look on YouTube, there a quite a few how to guides on there that should give you an idea of the process.
