Insulating the galley.

We have started to fit the insulation in the galley.
5mm self-adhesive foam with foil backing against the hull and deckhead.
Will be covered by 40mm of xps foam board.
The hope is that the 5mm stops condensation in any gaps between the xps board (which isn’t very flexible) and the curves of the hull.
Depending on location we will either trap the xps in place with a few battens between the stringers or have a plywood liner.

Further progress today

Rounding and thinning the battens. A thicknesser would have made it easier.
First 3 battens ready
5mm self-adhesive foam insulation fitted
Dry fit first sheet 40mm xps insulation
The track saw with a fine wood blade cuts the xps very neatly
All the xps insulation fitted
Fitting the battens. The bend in the middle is too sharp. Going to use separate top and bottom pieces
