Monte's Ramblin' Rose 4' x 8' teardrop build

[MonteQuest]

The weather has finally warmed up enough to do the contact cement work and attach the Filon. Here I have installed the Filon on the galley hatch over the FRP panel. The 1/16" FRP panel provides plenty of support for the Filon. It's much easier to work with and bend than plywood. I had to buy 20' of 8' 6" wide Filon to cover my teardrop. The cost was $571.00. When it came, it had a scratch in the gel coat across the entire width. Luckily, I was able to do my layout around the scratch. RecPro refunded me $125.00 on my cost.

I installed the tail lights, lighted license plate, and hurricane hinge. Next comes the side panels. I believe it will be a 3-man job. The margin for error is zero with contact cement.

Nice "clean" look.
