Storage system & Carpet

laquer it.. carpet holds the dust in heaps.

Darren you could try Clarks Rubber they have all sorts of carpet marine/ plastic ect

Darren, you strike me as a lovely bloke who worries excessively. Buy a bit of marine carpet, (don't stick it down yet, you may be surprised), 'n shove it in. She'll be right, mate.

(If one has time, you're quite right: the dump/fitters/ retailers. Depends on time/$ ratio.) Stuffit Darren, - Enjoy.
ps. from one who worried too much for too long. JH.

Hi Darren,

Go to an auto/marine upholstery place and have a chat with them, I use thicker carpet on top, not sure if it's marine grade or not but it has about 3 layers and is about 4mm thick for the top and the thinner stuff they use for lining the interior of car boots etc for the sides and front of draws.
As for the glue, use Selleys Kwik Grip, stuff will stick to anything, if your worried about the laminate, give it a quick sand with the orbital and roughen up the surface.
Use a paint brush ( an old one ) to paint it onto the carpet, and have some turps ready to wash out the brush.

There is a place in Kelmscot which sells thestuff you are after, tho i cant think of the name of it.
If you head up Armadale Road going toward Armadale, turn left just before the railway crossing(i think this is railway parade) head up there a bit, and as you hit a roundabout( the first i think) there is a place right there. You will see the sign on the front fence
Hope this helps.

Hi Darren

I made my own draws up (check out my rig pic) using 12mm ply covered with marine carpet from Clark Rubber. I used the spray-on contact cement, FAR easier to use than the traditional one in a tin. Its worked well on my draws, nearly 3 years old now and going great, haven't had to re-stick anything down yet.

Cheers

theres a place on leach h/way or south st on the way to freo @ $30/m ,the rolls are 2m wide they advertise in the marine section in the saturday paper .cheers

Hi Darren,
Just another option. I made my own from MDF and got some 'good' discarded carpet out the back of a carpet shop (free) and glued it on with Sellys Kwikgrip. Been on now for about 7 years.

I used marine carpet inside and out on my drawer unit. Got it from Bias boating. I see they have a store in Perth.

Thin carpet goes around corners better. I used the charcoal coloured utility carpet from Bunnings.

Hi there Darren,

I reckon using marine-type carpet is the way to go - use the stuff that is unlined - it goes around corners much easier.
