Filon -mistakes i made and what i learned

Postby bsharp76 » Tue Aug 17, 2021 5:45 am

My build is a 6x8 stand up tiny camper, this is what ive learned so far
1) a gallon of weldwood red contact only did the front and 1 side , if you try to do more it falls off.
2) if it falls off and hits the trailer it cracks pretty easily
3) a cut off tool (i used ryobi 18v) with dremel plastic /wood wheel works great for cutting but makes a mess
4)pay attention to which side has plastic on it so you dont put contact cement on wrong side (almost did it)
5)dont end a wall directly over the trailer frame or youll have nowhere to put your bottom trim without modifying it
Thats my lessons so far and after the project im sure ill edit more in

thanks for helping us not make the same mistakes! Do you have a build thread with pictures started? I love to watch people's progress.
