Every surfer’s dream
Recently, one of our customers sent us some nice pictures and videos. Lars Bodenbender, 21 years old, studying electromobility in Berlin, bought an old Volkswagen camper van a couple of years ago and fixed it up step by step. He came up with the idea thanks to his passion for surfing. Every summer, he drives to France in his van for a few weeks of surfing. Lars has also been to Spain and Croatia and has covered 30.000 kilometres with his van by now.
Wood for the interior
Along with his manually skilled friends, Lars restored and refitted the van. Except for the sleeping and storage spaces, they insulated the whole car all around. In order to make the interior cosier and more comfortable, the student went for wood panelling, as wood is perfect for a warm and cosy look.
Using WEICON adhesives
Lars had already been using WEICON adhesives for a while. It all started with a broken breakfast bowl. So it seemed only natural to also use WEICON products for his DIY project. We recommended our Flex 310 M Classic as well as our Montage Tape Grey for the wood panelling.
The double-sided tape was attached in order to fixate the wood panels. To ensure maximum hold, Lars also applied several dots (two centimetres each) of Flex 310 M next to the adhesive tape. Thanks to this hybrid technique, the wood is securely fastened and has not yet moved or loosened at all.
For cleaning the car paint, Lars uses WEICON Multi-Foam. In the future, he will certainly be faced with new repair and restoration challenges, which can be completed with the help of our WEICON products.
