New blue slick bunks
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2012 11:17 am
Well I finally got around to installing my new bunks with the 1/2" blue slick material discussed here several months ago. After reading the results of several others about how slick the material was during loading and unloading and how easy it could slip back if the strap was not attached I decided to create a hybrid model!!. I purchased untreated 2x4's at my local friendly big box store and since the blue material is 1/2" thick, I ripped some 1/2" pieces of high density plywood 4 feet long x 3 1/2". I sealed the 2x4 and plywood on all sides and edges with 4 coats of a high quality sealer from Rainguard, glued and screwed the plywood strips to the back 4 feet of 2x, then put new bunk carpet on that part. The thought process was when backing down the toons has some friction from the carpet but as soon as they float just a little you have nothing but slick. It has really worked nice and the loading and unloading are MUCH easier!
