Hello,

 i've found damp in my 1998 Sterling Europa. I have started to remove the damaged wallboard.When taking the damp wallboard off some of the polystyrene came off. What is he best way to proceed, should replace the polystyrene? and what's the best adhesive to use to stick the new wallboard back on. Sorry there's so many question. Any replies would be a great help

Thanks   Dave................

PS i shall be resealing the awning rails.

Hi

I removed the polystyrene from my wall as even after having a blow heater on it for a few days, after some invesigation holes i fund that it was still wet behind the polystyrene even though it was dry to touch.

Dont use solvent free gripfill it is crap. Tried it las night to bond new insulation and wall board and it didnt stick, i pulled it all back off and the gripfill was still wet after more that 24 hours.

I used the stick like sh*t to bond all my new timbers and it worked great, and a coachman deal told me that they now use it all the time.

So i am going to try it on the insulation and wallboards.So i will let you know how i get on with it

Iain
