Hello All!

I have begun a restoration of an '85 Vogue and thought maybe I could get some pointers here.

The issue I am working on now is some minor luan delamination in my ceiling from a old leak that has been repaired.

The luan is not structural, just the ceiling inside. I guess I could leave it alone but the perfectionist in me cant ignore it. I planned to gently open the wound and use thinned epoxy to saturate the luan and cover, close it and cover with wax paper then compress everything with a piece of foam backed with ply wood and a 2x4 to prop it up. Then remove the foam when dry. Sound feasible?

Also, I plan to paint the ceiling and need to fill some holes, etc. I need a filler that is flexible enough that it wont crack from the chassis flexing, but also sandable. Kind of like spackle, but flexible. Any thoughts?

In the future I will try to post some pics.

Jim

Durhams Rock Hard Water Putty- in a round red cylinder in the paint section at H D or Lowes. Mix it like peanut butter. You can sand it and paint it
 
You have a Vogue too! I was given a 74 Vogue last summer and we are trying to start remodeling it but I have no idea where to start with this mess....
 
    I am parked at a friends home in the Foothills area East of Yuma.  On the lot behind us is a 97 Vogue that the owner of the Vogue company had built for himself.  The interior is white and the outside paint pattern is just beautiful.  Wish I knew how to include a photo but am computer challenged and do not think I could do it even with instructions.  My poor old Apple MacBook really under uses.  Good luck on your redo.
