shoom Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Just getting my boat ready for the upcoming season, I have gotten rid of the previous shim in my trunks which were made of laminex, which was fine but the back chipboard swelled up when wet jamming the board. I am just wondering what most people are using nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Not sure which sort of shimming you mean. If you mean large blocks (say in the front or rear of the case), then I would use either Cedar or PTFE. If you are talking about the sides of the case to take the slop out, then I would use marine carpet. This generally has a type of rubber backing and doesn't rot and can be fixed in position using contact adhesive. I have purchased this stuff as offcuts at carpet stores. Let me know if you need any further info. Regards, Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
