I painted my headliner panels in my 1980 c with regular ceiling paint after they got sooty from a kerosene lamp. Looks fine 2 years later Get Outlook for Android From: WILLIAM WALKER via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2021 6:28:23

Re: expanding foam Back in the 70’s, prepping a C 39’s ice box for the Transpac race to Hawaii, we poured too much expanding foam into the space around the box. As the overfill expanded it distorted the galley counter and bulkhead. We ended up cutting out the foam and starting over with much
