Pain free insulation solution

Sheesh, no problem Ray....hummm...lets see,...I could schedule you in for early 2009. :)

I think this stuff is the ticket but I'm going to give a few weeks to age before I slather the whole boat. It looks to me like 3 gallons of the insulation would do a pretty good job of covering the yacht. One gallon of the Db would be more than enough.

The e-mail contact on that web site is that of the person that came to the school.
 
Ken,
I'm interested in this stuff too. Not necessarily the sound deadener, but definitely the insulation. The noise of the boat doesn't bother me, but I really dislike the condensation in the boat during longer trips.

Have you mentioned this stuff to the factory? I'm going to have my boat in there around the 1st of April, and I'd like to approach them about putting it on my boat while they have it. If it dries hard and white, why do you think you need to paint over it?

I haven't mention this to the factory but it seems like this is something that could be done at the factory level with even less pain. I think it would add a fair amount to the comfort of the boat without adding much to the cost.

The insulation is somewhat porous so they recomend painting over it to seal the pores to aid in cleanup.

I'll snap some pics when I get home if there's still sun light.
 
here's one of two pictures I stuck in the Tech gallery http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _photo.php
The stuff dried up pretty solid, I was afraid it might be a little crumbly but it aint. I got a greasy finger print on it and it cleaned right off with some glass cleaner and a paper towel...I like it, I'm doing the whole boat
 
That's cool, B~C. You gonna do the whole fuel line, too?

When's it my turn? You got enough air hose to reach Cathlamet?
 
you damn betcha...it's an old hotrodder trick, cool fuel is more denser so you can pack more BTU's in the old combustion chamber.
I have about 60' of air hose, I'm a just a wee short
 
Ken,
The pics look great. If that stuff is as good as 2in of foam that would be super. I just want to see if I have it straight. First you brushed on some black stuff for sound reduction. Then you sprayed on the white stuff for insulation?

Does it have any fumes so that you need to wear a breathing mask?

The proof will be when you take it out overnight when it is cold and do a lot of heavy breathing ( or cooking) and see if there is condensation. On our last trip to Lake Mohave we had drips on the Vberth overhead in the morning.

If this really works I would like to do the whole boat.

WOOHOO! I wonder if Tyboo will have my Barber chair conversion and kicker bracket done by then? Heck, I better get started on those trim tabs... :lol:
 
Steve, you're correct, I brushed on two light coats of the black stuff http://www.mascoat.com/dB.htm My major goal with this stuff is to reduce some engine noise and vibration. I don't think a person would want to coat the whole innerds with the Db as it is a rather heavy material. I then applied two coats of the insulation. A person should always wear a respirator when spraying but, I didn't and when I do the rest of the boat I won't. Because the stuff is thick, sticky and water based, you don't get a lot toxic stuff floating around the air, it pretty much just comes out of the gun and sticks on the boat.
 
That did it for me! Many thanks Ken!

Last Friday afternoon I called the chap at Advanced coatings and had him send me off two gallons of insulation, BAM, there it is on my doorstep today. I was surprised at the quick service, I was thinking that this outfit deals with big ship builders in large vats quanities, who knows when I'll get the stuff. I pretty much have everything masked off, although you don't have to get to crazy about masking with the insulation, I covered everything because the insulation will be followed by the Zolotone and clearcoat.
Got just purt near one coat shot in the cabin, hope to give it another coat and start on the V-berth tomorrow. I'll get some pics before I cover up the insulation. The insulation looks pretty nice by itself and a person could not cover it but, I have a quart of silver gray zolatone just beggin to get spritzed....so far so good

RF - I think I know where your troubles come from. As you get older, you need to take more precautions in your activities. Snow machining isn't necessarily only for young men, but maybe you're a little too big for the machines you're using. Here's something that might be better for you, and as luck would have it, it is even for sale.

Listen, I may have messed up B~C's slathering thread with that last post, but you gotta admit, it's funnier than all get out.
 
that looks like a fun snow buggy...humm...still got them MG's?....thread messer....I recall the good old days when threads would start to disintigrate after the second post, then Catman started harping for institutional control and look at us now.
Damn, get better Greg
 
Ken,
What is the cost of 2 gal of this stuff? I won't have my boat at home until mid May. I also don't have a sprayer but do have a friend that may have one that will work. Can't wait to see the results. This seems like such an easy way to insulate our boats and stop the dripping on cold days. Thanks for being the tester Ken!

Steve
 
Steve, no problem on being the tester, it's kind of fun exploring and I figure with enough effort, I can always undue whatever I'm fiddling with. So far so good with this stuff though.
For spray gear, I've tried several different guns, but so far found the $6.99 Cambell Hausefield sandblast gun with a home grown spray cup attached to the pickup line works great (I'll get a pic of that).
Price may vary, I paid $3? a gallon, Richard Stratton, the sales rep, is still trying to figure up the "official" C-Brat pricing and may be contacted via the Advanced Coating Sloutions link.

I may sound like a damn salesman for this stuff but I aint, I get nothing, nada, zilc...well...except for the free samples to try out. I just think this stuff will add so much bang for the buck I gots to share the news with my C-Brat bretheren
 
Super Funny!! (too much so) I can't laugh actually,(OUCH!) thats where the damage is... in my back and abs somewhere deep... The meds are not bad though! actually sleeping the whole night through for a change :thup

Ken, how many square feet a gallon... :?:

Sounds like a great way to apply that stuff :!: Too bad I can't join-in on your "Spayer-Meetings" :xnaughty :xlol
 
MORE MORPINE...well my drug crazed friend, I think I read somewhere that a gallon will cover 50 sq/ft. I've sprayed about a gallon in just the cabin and still have a bit more to cover, I haven't invaded the V berth area yet. I think two gallons for a lower 48 cruiser or an AK angler, me thinks if I had a cruiser in AK I would get three gallons.
Get well soon, them deep muscle pains are a pain.
Come on down and we'll have an old time tent revival sprayer meetin :)
