TwilightLane Cubbie Build

[TwilightLane]

Bondo Time.

I've never used it before. I saw it recommended over wood putty in a few threads. Picked it up at WalMart of all places. I tell you what, WalMart is a creepy place on a friday night. Yikes. I mixed up a little batch per the instructions.

Covering up my lotsa screws.

Covering up my fine craftsmanship...



This stuff is pretty cool. It seems to be working just fine on the wood.

All bondo'd up.

Getting my hands dirty. Lovin' it.

I've got my trailer parts layed out on the garage floor and sunday I'm gonna dive in. I work so darn much and sunday is really the only day I can devote to my build. I have the HF 4x8 trailer also. Good luck with your build Larry

That is certainly a well built floor!

March 20 in Kansas. Might as well get to work.

I started today with the floor to the subhatch. I wanted to skin the underside with metal sheet of some kind. I had some flashing, but I had to double it up to cover the whole width. Unfortunately that left a seam.



That is a scrap of the flashing I had left over.



I used construction adhesive underneath the flashing to attach it to the ply. I didnt want to pierce the sheet. The ply itself has a couple coats of exterior latex. The same color as our house!

[TwilightLane]

Now, to let that adhesive set up. A little weight to help it along.

Next step is to dress that bondo I applied last night. It's rock hard. Like I said before, I've never used it before. Interesting stuff.



Good thing I had that orbital sander to smooth it out. Dusty work.

[TwilightLane]

The rest of it smoothed out.



Nice.

[TwilightLane]

Smooth as a baby's backside.
