Default What to use on walls of head??

I used vertical grade high pressure laminate (Formica and the like). It
is thinner than regular weight laminate and will bend into about a 2"
radius but you have to build up a big fillet behind it for support.

You need to use the highly flamable contact cement though. THe water
based stuff just does not have enough grip. I put mine on before the
deck went on. I would hate to do it in a closed up head without a
remote source resperator.

Anyone have any idea on material to apply over plywood bulkheads on
forward head of Morgan OI 41?? I have thought of the following:
stainless sheeting (what gauge? 18?); formica, vinyl wallpaper. Had
wallpaper on before but it was always peeling and attracting mildew. I
had also thought of some type of acrylic sheeting but have no idea of
what is available. Would also appreciate source of material you might
recommend. Thanks. Joe
