Insulating the hull questions.

[Hull376]

Long term (5years) status of my insulation:

1. Armaflex still tightly bonded to the hull with Ebb's wonder water base adhesive
2. No water absorption
3. No mold
4. No deterioration of the foam or the pvc sheet.
5. No out gassing smells of any kind in the cabin. My experience with other old boats is that the smelly ones have smelly coverings and non green mastics. A few have science projects in the bilge!

I'm very happy with the long term results so far. None of the concerns expressed by other posters have materialized.

Nine years later, still no issues with the insulation method described above. And the pvc sheet is still bright white, no smells, stuck firmly to the hull
