ER lining
|
David Vogel
Hi Paul
My ER lining also started to sag. It was re-affixed with standard contact adhesive, with good adhesion in the immediate aftermath, but then it soon started to sag again. I suspect that the adhesive was being affected by elevated temperatures in the engine room, which occurred due to an intermittent exhaust fan, itself caused by a dodgy start capacitor. Also affected over an extended interval were the end-caps and interconnector for the watermaker HP tubes, the ER lights (bright CREE LEDs, which do naturally run warm), the sealant for the access hatches to the fuel tank going soft, and so on, all of which needed attention in one form or another. I subsequently put all these things down to excessive heat-soak in the engine room. In my case, once the exhaust fan was returned to 100% service, re-application with a high-quality contact adhesive has seen no further problems with the ER liner. And the mysterious run of other 'issues' in the engine room now returned to a dull roar - just the normal hose clamps, and normal service items thus far. I would be taking this lagging of the ER lining as a warning sign, and investigating to see if a cause can be determined.

I believe an easier, and more permanent solution, rather than removing and re-gluing, would be to screw a couple of batons, either ply or stainless, to prevent it from sagging. So my question is, would anyone know the thickness of the material into which the screws would go. It does seem to be essentially the bottom of the locker.

Paul, I was thinking of using thin tubes and insert them in places and in a round motion spray glue. It’s like WD40 with tube that you insert to splay in hard to get places. These small holes should become “invisible”. I did not do it, but thinking that it may be done this way and should less intrusive. Just a thought.

I think that I would cut a 1" slit, ensuring it is not deeper than 1" from fore to aft into the foam, then glue a 25mm batten into the slit. A new very sharp serrated blade is best.

Precisely my same conclusion Paul. Perhaps a small/flush backing plate if the locker is violated. That’s the best solution as the foam is moderately deformed from gravity, re-glueing is an auto of frustration.
