| Subject: | Making carpet stick to the floor insulation |
While Matt brings up carpet it reminds me of the issue I am having. I have
the white Styrofoam *Looking* insulation on the floor of my RV6 up front.
We have glued the carpet down three times and it only lasts until the next
passenger who can't seem to get out efficiently manages with their legs to
get it all loose again. I originally tried two sided tape, then I used
contact cement in the corners and spots in the middle and lastly I sprayed
adhesive over the entire area and back of carpet. It came out right away
every time. On the left seat side it isn't a problem as I can get out
without pushing with my feet forward like that.
Anybody else had this problem, or if you didn't; what did you use?

SNIP Does anyone have some ideas and/or pictures of how they carpeted
the passenger
foot wells on their RV-8? SNIP
Nonskid wing walk material works well in many areas of the cabin floor.
It's light and doesn't hold dirt, water, or vomit. The non-gritty stuff
works best.
I have a painted floor in my plane, non-skid applied where needed, and I
like it. Very low maintenance.
I have also seen very nice carpet jobs where the hole around the
footwell has been serged to stop fraying.

Tim,
I've found the best way is similar to what they do in the marine
industry.
stainless snaps pop riveted to the floor pan and female snaps crimped onto
the carpet. snap in and out without any movement.
about 3 bucks worth of hardware. a local (marine / custom auto) upholstery
shop should have everything on hand.

I used Home Depot rubber mat (interlocking type) for 6A floor. Cut it
to fit between the floor stiffener angles. It's noise reducing,
vibration reducing, looks great , and holds itself on the floor
without any help. Still looks great after 600 hrs of use.

I'll second that. I got some rubbery wing walk material from the MAC servo
people and used in the foot wells. Worked great.

| Subject: | A bit of corrosion... |
Hi all,
I got some aluminum cleaner on one of my elevator skins accidently
(see attached) and didn't notice it was there until it left some
corrosion on the skin. I'm just getting to the tailcone, so it is
going to be a while before I was going to paint (I'm planning to paint
after the fly-off period so it will be a couple of years) Is this
something I need to worry about? Should I clean it off, and if so,
what should I use and how to ensure I don't make it worse?
One other thing I thought of is to use the corrosion protection that I
am using and put that on the outside of the skins. I am using
Sanchem 6100 and they say you don't have to put the sealer on top of
it if you are going to paint, and that you don't have to paint or
prime immediately. If any of you are using the Sanchem stuff what are
your recommendations?
Thanks,
James

James,
Polish the corrosion off of the affected areas, using your 2" Roloc ScotchBrite
discs. Use the fine (blue) discs to do this. Once you have cleaned the area,
reapply the Sanchem to the area you cleaned.
