65. DIY Vinyl Cabin Headliner | Learning the Lines - DIY Sailing

[@hcaldwell4085]

I have been agonizing over what to put on my cabin and ceilings and this is it. Thanks.

[@jhlewis10]

Looks good. I would have run a few wires since I had the ceiling out for some LED lights.

[@lyfandeth]

Regular velcro adhesive will release after some hours in the 90's. The commercial stuff that 3M makes for windshield toll passes is special, it can take the heat. Don't be surprised, maybe what you have will stay up.

[@TheSataraid]

Lyfan Deth I agree. 3m also makes a product called ... “panel bond”... Exotic car manufacturers use it on their vehicles...

[@thedoctor8381]

3M duo lock is the best

[@johngreno6464]

I just wanted to Thank you guys for doing a great job of representing Tampa, FL. I have been watching your videos for a while now and watched the comments video you did. Keyboard warriors are always the brave in front of a monitor. Truth be known, the majority cant even come close to watch you two are doing. Keep it up!!

[@rmbooker1]

It’s purple, well at least on my screen. Good job guys, you make a great team.

[@LearningtheLines]

I agree ;)

[@jamescarey6559]

Hi , it is mauve . Mauve is a pale, bluish purple that sits between violet and pink in the color wheel .You are both right. cheers

[@boatworkstoday]

Nice and bright, easy to keep clean ;-) The headliner looks awesome guys!

[@buffordevans6942]

Gaps really don’t matter because they are covered up . Ohhh man . If this were my project it would drive me nuts knowing those gaps were there lol Suuuper looks awesome 👏

[@1SharpGent]

Man, she's got to be SO much brighter down below now! The white headliner has to make it feel like a brand new boat! With all the stuff you're doing to her, she's going to be a brand new boat in no time! Keep up the good work!

[@symphonyfarm2009]

Awe yeah! 5am....6 degrees outside...a cup of coffee....sleeping kids, and the headliner to freebie......arm chair boat work doesn't get any better!!! Mauve....is the color you were looking for!

[@bloomheller22]

That headliner looks great. I’m trying to create something similar but with wood panels. This looks much easier I have to say.

[@fakiirification]

This is the second interior restoration video ive seen using this PVC paneling, you guys are helping to boost their sales, because im now planning to use this stuff instead of FRP panels to redo the headliner in my boat as well! haha

[@nzrestoration9486]

You are doing such a great job which looks amazing so do you self down, you aren’t professional but you take pride in what you do. BIG. Thumbs up from me. We have some of the best boat builders in the world down here in NewZealand, yes we have the America’s Cup we pinched from you guys, sorry about that, you should be justly proud of your efforts. As you can see I’m playing catch up on your videos!

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Great idea using the pvc panelling for headliners guys.

[@28cruzin]

The insulation is pink. The color shade will change depending on the light source. Artificial light can confuse colors to our eyes. Basicly the light bulb can change your colors. So you are both right! That vinyl beadboard is a handy solution for your overhead. You might want to consider hand rails mounted to the overhead to assist movement in rough seas. You two are doing great! See you in the next one.

[@BigMouth380cal]

Overhead handrails are a great idea!

[@LearningtheLines]

I have seen those on other boats, and I do like them, but i think our bot is a bit small for them. We did add spots to grab on in an upcoming episode. :) I like the idea that we're both right though. Lol. ;)

[@davidblalock9945]

As soon as they said "Pink Panther" the song started playing in my head.

[@drwindsurf]

The headliner looks fantastic. I love that you are using readily available cheap design alternatives for the interior space - so smart. Thank you for another excellent video :)

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Looks really good guys. I think with the counters and trim around the port lights and hatches you have just the right amount of contrast. The white will make a great surface for multi-color led lighting. Caught a good glimpse of the sink, backsplash and sink faucet and it's looking nice too. Keep at it you're almost there. Have a good week.

[@robinwells8879]

That looks really good and light and airy. I think that I may shamelessly copy you!

[@richarddickson3211]

Headliner on the deck head Looking good.

[@LearningtheLines]

Thanks!

[@Niagra2011]

Insulation is pink but in low light it has a purple look to it. Replay your video and you will see. You both are correct. Lol Nice job on the over head. It looks great! Videos seem really short. Guess I am really enjoying them. Thank you!!!

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

Those foam panels in the ceiling are a great idea ! They will help keep the heat out, the cool in an reduce noise ! If the cabin top does not flex much (after your other reinforcements) then gluing them is really not necessary. If the screw head are not big enough to hold the foam up there, make oversized "washers" out of thing plastic (cut down milk bottle caps or even large pieces of plastic like from a coffee can). That trim piece really was the "icing on the cake". Your ceiling looks AWESOME !

[@LearningtheLines]

Thanks for the feedback and for watching!

[@eliciahalterman1961]

The headliner looks amazing!! Great job 👏

[@nildefonsop]

Next time you guys should look at the industrial Velcro , that stuff is great and it does not give up like the regular fuzzy Velcro. 3m makes some great stuff comes in a big roll and the adhesive is super good ! I can look up the part number tomorrow at work if you are interested. The job looks great can’t wait to see the boat when you are done !

[@PrecisionSailLoftVictoria]

She is starting to look really nice in the salon! Keep up the good work.... splash day is soon!

[@larrygldn9245]

Instead of using standard Velcro hook and loop style check out McMaster's Mushroom-Head Fasteners. It sticks to it's self. The mushroom heads roll into each other and when do not pull apart when pulled straight up. It is expensive but you can get it in black or clear. We used to use it to hold heavy duty vinyl tarps 20 ft. x 20 ft. in rooms we were growing oyster mushrooms. This is ideal for what your doing. You can get different widths and 0-120 degree adhesive or the other 0-200 degree. Like you plans, thanks for sharing.

[@davidprince1923]

It looks lavender to me. Good job guys.

[@vingreensill]

Vinyl looks great.

[@barrystone2122]

, no worries guys little white silicone does wonders 😎👍

[@terencesmith4137]

Looks fantastic! Great job!

[@LearningtheLines]

Thank you!

[@Atr42Greasemonkey]

Bathroom calking will work wonders on that gap and is water washable for nice clean up

[@elltielle]

Everything coming together. The headliners look awesome, kinda oldschool like on old steamboats. I really like it. Thanks for all of your videos

[@ninehundreddollarluxuryyac5958]

Amazing how much nicer it looks in there with the new ceiling. Very creative mounting techniques. I am going to remember the one where you glassed wood strips to the ceiling so you could later screw into them. Thats going to simplify a lot of projects, thanks.

[@jeffgriglack9624]

It's pink. Things are looking good, guys.

[@Bumsonaboat]

That looks amazing! Nice job and its pink...definitely pink.

[@chronoboat11]

Now I say some harsh things but I give loads of credit for your tenacious spirit and good work!!!

[@davebrown7321]

I just want to say what an inspirational couple you guys are ! (Keep up the awesome work & video's! )

[@mariemorrissey9378]

OKay let's fast forward to the future, all the boatwork is done enough and you are finally out sailing on Freebie and you make yet another great video but have to apologize in the intro for not being able to upload because the lack of good WiFi! It will happen!! 😁👍👍

[@OrvilleHarmison]

So simple ... purplish pink or pinkish purple ... take your choice, both are correct.

[@StevenPendleton]

That is a huge improvement! Great job. 👍

[@matthew2000tx]

I live in Texas the Velcro adhesives usually fail in heat. If you are sailing south in the summer I would worry about the Velcro staying adhered to the panels and the wooden ceiling. One of the tricks people use around here is to use some caulking to attach the Velcro so it’s not using the backing for sole support. Adding the support strips was good!

[@johndixon5097]

The boat is looking good. Great job guys.

[@leefromsvpatchamie8607]

I'd say light purple 😀😀😀 Another good video loved the humour too. That saloon ceiling does look good too.

[@fxpthl]

The cabin ceiling really looks great! Love the bead board! You kids work very well together.

[@rawbin13]

The new ceiling looks great

[@davekimbler2308]

Looking fantastic!!! I wouldn’t change a thing !!!

[@Proost1]

Great job on the mauve insulation!! Looks great!

[@78denty]

Looks really good guys. Well done. Im just starting my own boat renovation, so ideas like this are perfect.

[@dman273]

It's not the purple panther, But it's always best to say "yes dear" .

[@LearningtheLines]

Haha good policy ;)

[@cyrusthegreat3975]

Definitely a shade of purple, like lavender.

[@mwatkins2464]

For the small gap on the ceiling use a small amount of silicone and smooth it with your finger and you’ll never see it again and 100% silicone will not mold. I’ve used it a lot in construction. It all looks great 👍. One thing worries me is it will mold some in the gap between the ceiling. Anywhere air can get trapped they’l be some mold. Take care you two 👍👍👍

[@billmead5052]

Just call it pinkle so you can move on :-) The overhead looks great! You two must have a great feeling of satisfaction as this is comming together very nicely

[@jamesenloe2791]

Looks great guys.

[@harveyg845]

The cabin top looked great!

[@CorwynGC]

Looks good. Plaster washers are the thing you want to keep the screws from pulling through the XPS.

[@camprose]

It's owens corning..... it's pink! Looking great kids!!!

[@snakeplisken4278]

maybe add a bit of white sealant in the one gap you mentioned? looking good!

[@hinahanta]

Very nice, the teak / oak look is sweat!

[@LearningtheLines]

Thank you! We just mounted the table about an hour ago. It looks great. :)

[@hinahanta]

Learning the Lines Wow, can't wait to see it in your next video! I put reinforcing pieces in my old boat too, I knew I will be walking all over the cabin top and I felt it was a little on the thin side.

[@jeremyrobinson2080]

Thanks guys......you solved my problem.....fibreglass support beams! Good job 🍻

[@jenfinlay4983]

Love the roof look just right for a homey boat.

[@skelley6136]

Headliner looks awesome!

[@mrhaneyii]

Can’t wait to see it in the water!!

[@grahamjones5885]

Great looking overhead!

[@lornagilbreath6890]

The headliner is looking really good good job and a great idea

[@michaeltillman1147]

Coming along good guys! Like that other blogger would say... "Pritty dang spiffy!" 😎

[@rcorn8114]

Looks great. Keep chugging along.

[@MidnightAmratha]

Pale purple tending towards pink, but mostly pale purple. I tend to agree with her on this.

[@adamff280]

That's why they use the 'Pink' Panther for marketing ;-).... Not Purple Panther.

[@LearningtheLines]

I mean it's definitely marketed as pink, but pale purple is how it looks. Lol

[@terrywilliams6923]

Great job.Really looks nice.

[@harrybloom9213]

mauve Also, you should apply some waterproof tape to fill in the gaps between the insulation pannels and with the frame. Othewise, you're gonna encounter some condensation issues. Remember, on the warm side, your insulation should be 100 percent air tight.

[@andrewb4556]

Hi Nice job! Love you're work and vlogs

[@edrobertson5217]

Its pinple!😜 As always, great job. Always enjoy the videos.

[@davidmilitz2275]

That looks great!!!! Great Job!!!

[@jameshobbs6092]

10:09; It looks FREAKING AMAZING!!

[@roncrosby4747]

Looking good guys

[@SailingAlma]

Looks geat guys great job 👏👏👏

[@kjonesy4142]

That's coming right along!!👍

[@toliver66]

It looks lavender in the video which is a shade of purple... sooo Randy eye Candy is right. Great job on the head liner, looks real nice. I like the way you guys used whats readily available at the local DIY store.

[@spaken2768]

If there are air pockets between the hull and the insulation, condensation can form in the cavity.

[@shawnharris1946]

Looks great!

[@DJTerry-bd3cp]

Looks awesome, great job

[@floydpeters9494]

The good thing about Velcro is, that the more it “vibrates “ the better it holds.

[@LearningtheLines]

If that is accurate that's awesome!

[@floydpeters9494]

According to what I have read Velcro tends to work in tighter as it vibrates and, Because you have it basically under compression (with the screws) and you have relieved the downward pull with the screws , otherwise the weight of the vinyl would have separated the Velcro (it is intended a temporary holding) and now it can do it’s thing; 3m makes a version that it more suited for your application, anyway it will be fun to watch over the next couple of years.

[@danielj9047]

Love the head boarding!

[@derekhughes244]

Looks awesome

[@anthonyalford8970]

Nice job, its coming along

[@russanderson6965]

Great job 👍

[@scadgerbaker4914]

Pink Panther, so pink.

[@goulash75]

That lining looks great guys. Not sure I would have gone for velcro, as I've had a lot of trouble with that stuff in the past. I'll be interested to see how it goes in the long run. By the way, I painted my scooter to the "looks good from 20 yards" method the other day, and, as with a lot of your jobs, it surprisingly ended up looking good from 5 yards!

[@johnmccormick175]

Looking good! ......i agree with Randi (purple) :-).....your doing a great job!

[@jeremyruether9512]

also use warm tone lights in the bedroom part and softer tone lights In main part to help eyes adjust for if you have to go out at night

[@LearningtheLines]

Interesting idea. Hadn't really thought of that.

[@jeremyruether9512]

it's ok with how hard yall got into the remodel lighting is something put on the back burner alot of the time but the soft light is easier on your eyes to adjust to darkness without seeing the hazy purple like you do with warmer color bulbs

[@macbadapple]

It might've been easier to put the trim ring on the hatch after the vinyl was up. But, it looks great.

[@maritimetees2315]

Coming together very nicely. Hope you received the Freebie Tees by now.:)

[@mikedhsr007]

Please list more detailed description of materials used, like the beadboard, what strength Velcro, etc. Great headliner method I want to use on my refit.

[@tartansailor]

The insulation material that you used is very good for keeping the inside cooler using an air conditioner or warmer when using a heating system. However for those days you will be off the grid, it won't be sufficient. It would have been better to put an aluminum foil first to reflect the sun infrared rays outside the cabin. The Reflectix product is good for that purpose. If it is not too late for the forward section please consider this option., Cheers, Richard

[@louisgabriels6333]

That's a great job guys , well done 🌈⛵⚓🌈

[@christorrance2876]

Looks great.

[@pornstarlivesmatter3319]

looks amazing guys!!!!

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

The trick with varnish on raw wood is 3-2-1. 3 parts mineral spirits, 2 parts linseed oil and 1 part oil based spar varnish. This will dry VERY quickly so you can probably put 3 or 4 coats on (with no sanding in between) the first day. The next day, light sand and then change to 2-2-2 at least 2 coats. Third day, light sand and a couple of coats of 1-2-3. This last coat might take a couple of days to cure hard. If it is not super smooth, use 220/320/440 sandpaper. That will kill the gloss, but old fashioned paste wax should restore it.

[@wilber504]

Looks great. God job!

[@jimmantych8834]

Great job guys keep it up

[@tallishyeti2756]

There are two people in a relationship. One is always right and one is always the guy.

[@patrickcleland6065]

Tallishyeti27 cute little saying!......wrong on both accounts though.

[@SailingSarah]

It's different in the United States, there's three in the relationship. One is the one who's right no matter if she's wrong then there's "the loser" and then the government.

[@rondejoux8006]

I think its Mauve, Looking good.
