Setbacks galore.
The tape I had been using wasn’t good enough on the roof. Most of the insulation stayed firm, but areas began to delaminate.
Stupidly, I persevered.
Cordura draped on the walls and never sticking down, it’s in place with the screws up top.
Then, using some contact adhesive spray “it’ll be fiiiine” it wasn’t fine. A whole day or two of work wasted. I ripped the entire ceiling back off again, because the Cordura wouldn’t stick to the insulation wouldn’t stick to the metal.
Dogshit mess.
Ah well.
Got more insulation and some ‘trim fix’ adhesive on the way. I’ll get there in the end. Just now I have to undo lots of things to redo stuff that shouldn’t need redoing.
Lesson learned. Learned the hard way, but nonetheless learned.
