In these situations, I skin the wood with epoxy and let it tack up. Then press the cloth on and apply more! epoxy. The first coat sans cloth will soak into the wood but as well as holding the cloth in place, will also help to prevent starving the cloth of epoxy when it soaks into the wood.

I was looking for some ideas for interior lighting at Wally World and I stumbled across a 4 pack of the tap lights for a whopping $3 something including batteries. They're not very bright but they'll do nicely until I get around to wiring in a 12v system.

Thanks, guys. I still have a lot of odds and ends to wrap up, but it's going camping tomorrow anyway. 8)

nice job. :thumbsup:

I like how your trailer frame has the fenders and side sets, works good for your build. 8)

Here's a link to my blog post with all the pics of the project and a few camping pics from this week:

Pappaw: Thanks and yeah I really like those fenders, they're strong enough to stand on. The problem they caused was there's only a few inches between the camper and the fenders so I had to keep sliding the teardrop around on the camper to paint and caulk. I think it'll be well worth the trouble they caused, though.
