For various reasons it has been a while since I've spent some time in garage. With the next batch of bits expected in a couple of weeks it was time to get on with one of the "nasty" jobs.
The insides of the wheelarches need protecting against stonechips, which could craze or "star crack" the top side GRP of the body from underneath. There are a number of materials that you could use to do this but I settled on "Liquid Rubber". This material is intended for use on flat roofs but is the just the job for inside the wheel arches.
It fully cures to give an elastic membrane, imprevious to water and stonechips and is particulalry long lasting.
It needs to be applied in 2 coats to give roughly a 1mm thickness and the second coat needs to be applied within 24 hours. The only problem is that even after warming the tin it is like trying to paint with chocolate spread straight out of the fridge.
Anyways... first coat on one front wheel arch done.... second coat tomorrow.
