Hi
i have finally been able to rip out the mouldy old carpet that lined a section of inside the boat. In the photo you are looking at the inside of the starboard top side with the remaining contact cement they used to fix the carpet.
I wondered if anyone knows of a paint that has a rough finish that I could just paint over the contact cement, or should I try and remove the contact and cement. If so what is best way to remove the old contact cement.
I don't want to put any type of material over the top, it just catches the condensation and turns mouldy.

thanks in advance

Tridek, great coverage, very hard wearing, manufactured in Sydney, only downside, you do need to spray it.

@dialdan and brizzydave I guess I could paint the Emerclad primer straight over the old contact cement and then the Emerclad over the primer?

um....well....the stuff is fabulous for what we want it to do...stipple up and last forever.

Its water based...and will go on (stick to) any kinda stuff like concrete...bricks...etc....but they do supply a primer for all surfaces.

it doesn't need a primer if its being painted on boat deck etc....it will stick there forever.

but i did buy some primer once to seal old paint...it was a big can of zylene and thinners basically. painted it on like water and it sealed the surface.

you can stipple it (emerclad) up with the texture roller...but like any paint it will dry and follow the contour of what's underneath it if its big.

i wanted it to hide lots of little sins, waterproof, and be flexible to hide spider cracks etc and not crack in years to come.
