Delamination Question

[Fastback]

So here is another delamination question. Last spring my wife and I bought a used Laredo 5th wheel. It is a 2001, we are the 3rd owners. Unfortunately, the RV did not have the best care and has required a number of repairs including a new roof on the slider. The interior is now 100 percent done, but I have a delamination problem on the sides. Most recently the fiberglass worked itself from under the front corner molding. I was able to slide it back in place and placed a piece of duct tape over the area to hold it in place while we are on vacation. Temp repair.

Here is the problem. I know I will be needing to remove the molding and re-caulk the joint I would also like to try and re-glue the fiberglass to the solid foam. I am thinking about using a contact cement like what is used on counter tops.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Contact cement, when applied to some rigid Styrofoam-type substances, will react with it and actually "eat" or dissolve it. The wall is made up of the exterior fiberglass which is glued to the high density foam which is "sandwiched" on the inside by a thin layer of luan.

Without knowing the extent of the delamination, it is difficult to say if trying to squeeze some kind of cement between the fiberglass and the foam would be effective.

Before you proceed any further, I would try to get a hold of a small piece of the type of foam that is used in the RV and try applying some contact cement to it and see what, if any, reaction takes place.
