Insulating the hull questions.

[Hull376]

After several years service the insulation job is holding up fine. Panels have not come unglued from the hull, the plastex is still stuck fast to the Armacel foam, and the boat is noticeably easier to cool, even when it's above 95 degrees and direct sun. And no water absorption. I'm a happy camper. And cooler to boot. One of my concerns was whether the adhesive discussed in detail above would come loose over time in very high cabin temperatures. That hasn't happened yet after two years. Mold doesn't grow very well on the plastex either. You'll see a little mold when Houston does it's tropical thing for an extended period, but no where near the growth on paint. Oh, and it's more comfortable in the winter, only need one 1600 watt heater when it was 27degrees.
