Insulation between wooden frame and metal?

[charlie-uk]

I'm going to replace the wooden frame before putting up the insulation. What can I use to seal the wood to the hull to eliminate the air gap?

How is the "wooden frame" attached to the boat shell?

Alan, they're screwed on.

 

Thanks Binste, will checkout the link

Alan, they're screwed on.

 

To what, though?

 

Some boats have all the battening fixed to the internal framing of the shell, or to dedicated brackets fixed inside the shell.

 

However others actually rely on some or all of it being screwed through holes from the outside of the shell, with the countersunk screw heads subsequently being hidden by an appropriate filler.

 

The considerations that apply to each method could be rather different.

Apologies Alan, there are built in brackets.
