Today I was introduced to a new wondrous material; stretchy carpet. We're using this for the areas where we need to carpet over curvy awkward shapes such as the wheel arches and the curvy bits that will be seen behind the carpeted panels on the back doors. We're using "Easiliner" stretch van lining in the same colour as the Veltrim.
To use this stuff, spray adhesive is used, just like the normal Veltrim, this is sprayed on both surfaces and allowed to dry for 30 seconds.
When it's being applied it's important to stretch the carpet over the surface, smoothing out any creases, and it will stretch and mould to the surface being covered.
The same process is repeated on the curvy bits of the back doors that will be seen behind our already-carpeted ply panels.
Woooo the back doors are now actually finished! Elliot thinks we're 1/4 of the way through this build... I disagree, I think we have a loooooong way still to do.
