1. This rounded ¼” plywood border was installed in 1969. It was a pressed hardboard paneling before that.
|
2. The plies became loose and warped over 30+ yrs. The outer of the 3 ply layers blew away 20+ yrs ago. The residue was trimmed.
|
3. A wire fence becomes a clamp. Excess glue drips from below the plies after gluing. The tied clamp pulls them tight.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. The water bottles make good weights where the clamp is not tight enough.
|
5. The glue did the job, but this is only the beginning. (Also been scraping the tin roof)
|
6. Drilled shallow holes to get more glue in behind the plies where they are still soft.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Saturated with a thinned varnish to penetrate and seal the wood, and protect it from rain.
|
8. Wood filled the crevaces, then hand sanded.
|
9. Spot glued and weighted cracks that opened with the wood filling and sanding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. After the spot gluing
|
11. More filler, sanding, then varnished all sides.
(Tilted so varnish on left can penetrate)
|
12. Primed
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. Top coated (this panel only, so far)
|
14. The painting of the roof and sides is done
