In Response To: Re: Formica w/Epoxy glue? (Capt Patrick McCrary)

I originally had wood grain formica on the exterior cabin bulkhead wall of my 28 B-- In 1985, I relaminated the wall with white formica and contact cement as an adhesive. 20 yrs and 13,000 hrs of use later---wall is still there--no problems--I do advise painting as the Ultraviolet WILL fade the formica. I am actually planning on removing the windows and copying the Buddy Boy shape on the windows--one of the last trick out items to do. I am sure epoxy would be fine-but I agree with UV on this one. Why bother
