I'm building a 7 x 10 standy and I'm thinking of using the 1/16th inch NRP for the exterior skin. The walls are going to be 1 x 3 framing, 2 x 2 roof 'joists". Interior walls will be 1/8" luan underlay ply (not sure if they will get clear coated or painted) and the exterior walls will be 5mm luan underlay covered in the NRP. Each side will take 2 1/2 sheets of the NRP, front and rear will take 2 sheets each. Do I glue the entire wall and stick the NRP to it and use mechanical fasteners (ie - staples) around the perimeter of the sheet or do I float the sheet and just fasten the perimeter? The passenger side of the trailer will take full sun all day long and I'd like to avoid bubbles (fought them on a fiberglass TT we had long ago. I would rather not paint it, but if UV fade becomes an issue, i"ll paint it. Thanks for any info y'all can give me.
