I have never seen such a technical analysis of the canvas method. Very good. Thanks for sharing with us.

"Why don't I try to paint on a simple design?" *proceeds to paint in intricate detail* When you said that, I knew what was coming, but was still blown away regardless. Love it!

Simply amazing, I am 71 years old and would love to be your apprentice. You are very talented and I am glad you are back.

There’s even a poorer man’s fiberglass: wood glue and paper towels! I have worked miracles with this concoction. Thanks for your great content 👍

“ … and just gave it a shot.” Your humility is in perfect balance with your abilities - makes us all stop and think how we can best do our work and share with others. Sehr gut - danke.

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 "Make it your aim to live quietly and to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we instructed you, 12 so that you may walk decently in the eyes of people outside and not need anything." I'm mouthful from watching this video with the amazement of talent here. Your technical acumen is on another level experience, I respect the fact that you took full 3 & half years of testing the bonding and watertightness of the finish product. You are living the life some of us are dreaming of living, respect to your work, and may the love of Jehovah continue working in you.

Great content! Back in the days before fibreglass canvas was the go to for decking on wooden boats.

This looks to be a great method of sealing and waterproofing a diy shower pan for an RV. Also provides a nice surface for non slip safety!

Hahahaha, I expected some stripes or a swoop or something. Then you went into casually bob rossing it! All of your work is great but I had to comment because that was so unexpected. Like you said, it is a matter of preference, I think it looks great but no one can deny that your execution was excellent as well.

You are unbelievable mate. Love your work and your philosophy

Excellent video! I think I'm going to do the same!

It’s better to order your canvas. It is way better quality. A lot more consistent and less of the “fuzzy” bits. You also have your choice of thickness and weave. Not to mention that you can get it seamless in almost any size you need.

You're definetly an artist! Really nice design on the wall :)

He's back! I JSUT finished 95% of my PMF project this afternoon, just in time for the weather to turn and get too cold for it. Tomorrow is paint, and I will be 99% watertight and sealed in for the winter. That design you handpainted on was really amazing, Adrian! Looks fantastic.

Great stuff! I appreciated your in-depth and knowledgable explanation, and the cool scene you painted on the cabin of the boat was a fun bonus, complete with a bald eagle 🦅❤😊.

You did it again Adrian! What a lovely video and great to see an update on the houseboat project. Glad you’ve taken the time to do this well and it certainly shows. I particularly like the alternative and thoughtful approach with the canvas, glue and paint system you have used which you also explained in a great way. How inspiring and thank you again.

Just awesome! I had never heard of PMF and now I think I might try it on a cabin wall. And, happy coincidence, canvas turns out to forever be an artists medium even under several coats of housepaint😂. Great mural!!!

I found your build series because of this video - now I've watched 25 episodes and I'm amazed. Very impressive stuff!

Thanks for sharing, great art work as well

wow, that art work looks amazing! thanks for the tutorial!

22:02 nice

Thanks for the detailed information. It helps tremendously when you are an artist. Fantastic paint job.

I love the graphic you painted on! That is super cool and well done on the prep for the PMF!!

Great, like the whole set up, differences on builds brings interesting concepts, I grew up in Lake town seen kids with Barrel rafts, we looked at it as in water time is great time

Just gave it a shot ….. wow!

Alright!! Glad to see you back. As always, your work is amazing. Thanks again for sharing your experiences 👍👍👍

That’s gonna be a cool boat. You have some artistic abilities for sure, I like the paint job on the wall that you did in this video. I’m going to check out your greenhouse as well, that looks pretty cool.

As I understand it, Tight Bond 2 and 3 both passed all the internal waterproof testing they did but one. They put test samples in a pot of boiling water. Tight Bond 2 broke down in the boiling water so the company downgraded it from waterproof to water resistant. So under normal use, it should be waterproof.

This is not waterproof, it is water-bomb-proof ! SUPA 👍

Great job! I'm working with foam board and PMF to create an electric boat now that electric motors are working so well on smaller craft. You have plenty of solar space on the roof there.

WOW… I am impressed, it looks great! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

What an excellent video. Thank you for sharing your research and process.

Adrian outstanding video, a real pleasure to watch. Looking forward to seeing more. Cheers!

The boat looks great!!!! I have just started the fairing and sanding part on my boat. Since you are so good at sanding now, and you like it so much, you could come to Florida and sand my boat with me. The art on the side is perfect too!!

Cool stuff Adrian! I'm not a boat person, I like keeping my feet on solid ground, if you know what I am getting out, lol🤢 but, it is an amazing build and the fact you also integrate the artwork made me really enjoy watching!

Fantastic information, very well presented, thanks.

Beautiful work and exceptional talent! Having built a few projects myself, I know quality of workmanship when I see it! I stumbled onto your video and now having subscribed, am looking forward to seeing more of your talent in action.

Wow, wow, wow! Looks fantastic. I’m thinking of other ways to use this method. Lots of possibilities. ❤️😎🐈‍⬛

Very good video Adrian. I also subbed, to see what you get up to. Cheers.

Nice art work

What an interesting project my friend , and that hand painted design , is just amazing . I've just stumbled across your channel by total accident , and though i'm not really interested in the project as a whole . I have taken a look at your previous videos , and you can rest assured i will be looking at at least a few . So , if i'm not really interested in your project , why am i here , you may ask . Well the honest answer is , i am planning something similar , just not an actual house boat . My project is based on an ocean going boat . Nothing huge , only around 30 foot or so , and basically something that's already in existence . As it's not a new boat , it will likely require a refit , and quite possibly quite a lot of modifications . I lived on a smaller boat several years ago , and basically , i miss it so much , i plan on returning . It's additive , what can i say . Okay so the reason for my post . Those test panels you used , piece number two was showing , what looked like a damp ingress on the inside of the ply , and i wondered if you noticed it . Right under the tube you glued to the other side , and around the cut out you made . It showed as a slightly darker area . Did you check this out ? .

great vid love the art.

Oh Adrian my friend, what a great video. You have an amazing body of videos in this houseboat build series, but this one especially speaks to me mate. I have been a strong proponent and study of PMF use and techniques for years. It is what I am constructing my houseboat cabin of, minus the wall framework which is wood. In my case I decided to use epoxy resin with garden cloth since it is cheaper, stronger, and more pliable than many types of drop cloth or canvas. It soaks in the resin well too. I have done experimental projects using Titebond 2 and traditional PMF, but the garden cloth and epoxy resin over formular insulation board is strong, lightweight, and fireproof. The resin has to be epoxy as polyester resin eats through the formular sheets. Epoxy resin doesn't do this. Afterward I will be painting with latex house paints, and like you, I am no fan of sanding, but this must be done of course to give a smooth finish. I love that you did a stylized mural on your open space. I think it came out rather nicely. I am planning on doing big marine life murals on either side of my own houseboat. I'll kick in to my airbrushing art skills to get it done. I'm also carving moray eel prowheads on either side of the front of my houseboat, through which I will run water spouts from my rain gutters. I figured it would make a unique marine life touch to my boat. Your project is fantastic mate. Beautifully done. That design is not something I would have thought to do for my boat, but it is extremely nice, and turned out really amazing. What a wonderful video. Thank you for posting it. Cheers! Erik

I've built many different things throughout the years, and all I can say is: "I'm Impressed!!" That's a great system to do a fantastic final coat, and a waterproof one at that! It won't break the bank, and you don't need to gas yourself out like you would by using fiberglass resin! (one of the reasons I hate that stuff in the first place) Fantastic job you did here! Keep up the good work. oh...and get this thing finished and out on the water already!! 😎👍

Great looking project. I thought the usual technique for PMF was to apply another layer of glue on top of the fabric, so that the fabric is sandwiched between two layers of glue. But I guess the single layer of glue worked okay for you.

Awesome. This was a fantastic video. I learned a lot. -T

great video! subscribed and following.

Subbed! You rule! Thanks for articulating the hillbilly waterproofing, excuse me….PMF! All the best!

Awesome.

Awesome job !!!!!!

Thank you for sharing the info

With the price of building materials now I've been considering trying to use this as a way to build a custom sized shed/workshop in a space in the garden. Seems like it would hold up more than well enough. If it can work for a boat it should be able to withstand British weather 😂

100% you are so talented

Hard work can not be avoided.... OR it can but if you're the poor guy that must repair it, why would you put yourself thru it when you had the chance to do it right? So you gotta do the prep-work between every step & do it right if you want the work to last longer then you'll be alive? Thanks for this video & you've got so much I want to take a look at, so little time? PMF is a concept I've never heard of but now that I think about it, old homes used wood on the walls(planks) & then the older homes used some type of linen kinda like what you are speaking about? We owned a Century Home that looked like "Gone with the Wind" but we did some upgrades & discovered a fabric used on the walls. I bet that's where this idea might've come from? Anyhoo, you've got more videos than I can consume BUT do not worry, I'll be working on them. peace

"I'll give it a shot"....lol

When you get to installing windows, I have used butyl tape to seal windows for many projects. Never had leak problems. It never hardens but that means that it will squeeze out if under pressure. small rubber spacers help with this problem.

By the way the painting looks great as in the artwork I was wondering myself about Titebond 3 because I seen everybody using Titebond 2 which I knew was not waterproof my question is was it still cheaper after buying all them cans of paint than doing it with fiberglass on the Hall of the boat I plan on doing a foamy camper and camper cap slide in build with a 5 mm layer of plywood on the outside outer shell and it's still light in weight I have a F350 Dually so that shouldn't be a problem but I still would rather not have to spend all the money on fuel so my Curious question is how is the fit and finish and is there anything you would do differently and is there anything you would do differently

Loved your testing and effort. Have a question about the ironing. Is the glue set before you start forming and smoothing or still wet or tacky? Interested in what if any hurdles you had with that. I’m building props for my kids marching band that need something like this to stand up to high schoolers.

Just found your channel, appreciate your ingenuity and craftmanship. best video I've seen on PMF. Did you over lap any seams besides roof over walls? Wish I could do graphics like you!

Incredible!!! Echte Klasse!!! Do you know what the difference in costs ( at about) woud be between this system and GFK?

New subscriber 👍

Pretty sweet. But considering how much paint you needed, I'm not sure you saved much money! lol

I don’t know if you said it in the video but I wonder how many jugs of glue and gallons of paint this took?

So how long ago did u do the pmf and how's it holding up? Also only 1 coat of titebond 2 under tarp? Not 1 over tarp?

النقطه التي لم افهمها هو طريقه لصق الكانفس على الخشب ممكن توضح الطريقه بكتابة خطوات العمل لان بعض الاحيان لا افهم الشرح لانك تتكلم بسرعه وانا لغتي الانكليزيه بسيطه

Thanks for working on the boat again. I must admit it's not that you aren't extremely talented because you are but boats just hold a special appeal me me

Bob Ross had nothing on you

Rain is not the only factor, how about long term UV exposure?

what is the bottom of the boat made from?

Je compte pas comment tu fais de si beaux losange à main lever

Pourquoi t’as deux contenant sur le toit ?

How do I know you’re not American? ………You didn’t paint your boat as a huge USA flag. Haha I’m Canadian and that makes me laugh.

I think you downplay your artistic skills a bit much. You made it sound like you were going to paint a box house and a tree with a lemon yellow sun in the corner. The artwork on the side looks super professional. The natural and the geometric shapes work together.

One thing I gotta know. Why are you keeping a t-shirt that’s got glue drips all over it? AND… why are you wearing it every week?! Everything okay over there? Do we need to start a GoFundMe for new clothes? 😂
