Yep that's how easy it was going to be ....... just stick the sheets to the metal framing with sikaflex. Anyone who has ever worked with Sikaflex will empathise with me at this point.
I am using Sikaflex 252 a black sticky adhesive which has the ability to get on everything it touches ,even gets on things that it does not touch. What an adhesive though.. it sticks like the proverbial sh.t to a blanket. I am told if your joint is 3mm thick it will distort at least 6mm to the side before failure...I believe it.
I use sheets approx 3ooo mm by 1500mm , 2mm thick for the top section of my bus. The bottom section is approx 3000mm by 1000mm but is 3mm thick. I hope to minimise damage should a minor accident occur. The correct adhesion is directly proportional to the preparation of the surfaces........read the instructions and FOLLOW THEM TO THE LETTER.
At this point the windows have yet to be cut in , this is done by using a nibbler and following the frame.
Today we finished our first bus fit out and the client took delivery.. it looked great . Later I will post some photos for you to look at.
You will notice I have left all the bottom sheets until last... anyway enough for now.. I will post more later.
Regards....sich.
