The big job of skinning the frame has begun. I chose to use an aluminium composite product called Aluwell or Ultrasign board from Ullrich Alumunium in Napier. The staff at this business have proven to be very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. They have dealt with my 'newbie' questions with enthusiasm.
The sheets are glued to the frame with a polyurethane based product with the occasional screw or rivet where needed. The sheets have a core of polyurethane covered with thin aluminium each side. Luckily one colour available is very close to fire engine red which means no painting is required.
My Dad agreed to come over from Australia to lead a hand and expertise. The task was proving to be a bit bigger than I first thought and his help is appreciated.
