[VAC] Insulation questions
Hello Vac-ers
I ' m replacing the insulation in a few panels , had a few questions -
does anyone know where to get that slightly compressed fiberglass insulation
like they put around washer dryers ? I thought it might be a little easier
to put in and hold together better / longer . Not as stiff as f/g ceiling
tiles , but not as loose as regular r-19
I was thinking of using spray trim adhesive to hold it up while installing
inside panels , is that aluminium compatible?
What about using rocker panel undercoat ( the clear gummy kind ) on back
side of exterior seams to waterproof ?
and would self etching primer be good to arrest slightly corroded
aluminium from mouse damage area maybe epoxy sealer over ? fortunatly they
didnt seem to go far , it wasnt a stinker before I found the mouse house ,
but I`m going to reinsulate anyway , and hopefully gain some r-values too.
So , any ideas on the subject ? alternative products ? anyone adding that
mylar bubblewrap stuff in there ?
