It was a beautiful day in Fort Worth. This is the weather everyone begs for. Good thing too. Patience was side dish that came with the weather as I almost lost mine. The windshield was not one of Henry Fords better ideas. I am still wondering how the heck they put these damn things together on the line. After struggling for 2 hours, we managed to get the rubber and chrome on the window. Side note accomplishments were painting, and destroying a yoga mat.
I did a ton of reading and though I thought my idea might work, I must admit, I didn't think it would work this good! Wish I had done this to the back wall of my cab instead of the peel and seal. It will be what I do to the doors!Expanded foam PVC yoga mats come in many colors. To do this right and really knock the sound down, pink works best.
Materials needed
1. small paint roller
2. razor knife
3. 10" x 10' Aluminum Flashing ($9)
4. 1 cheap PVC Yoga mat (My wife hasn't missed it yet)
5. Contact cement use for counter tops. ($9)
6. Glove
7. Rolling pin
Process:
1. Lay out flashing on yoga mat to mark area to be glued.
2. Apply glue to the Aluminum and the yoga mat and let dry for 15 min.
3. CAREFULLY lay the aluminum on the yoga mat and roll with rolling pin.
4. Trim excess and repeat until all flashing is covered.
5. Cut into 26" lengths
6. Using one of the pieces to be glued, mark the roof for the glue areas needed.
7. Apply glue to the yoga mat side of the panel and the roof, dry for 15 mins then smooth the panel on with pressure of a gloved hand.
Is there a reason you didn't use the Peel and Seal on the roof?
ReplyDeleteSure is! I live in Texas and roofing product work great on hot roofs. But hang that product upside down on a hot surface and it will sag and slip off under its own weight. I didn't want chance that happening. That is why I use the yoga mat method and silicone adhesive on all vertical and upsidedown applications.
ReplyDeleteSo no issue on the floors, but don't hang it overhead... I live in Arizona, I think we may share some weather related issues.
DeleteI can't really speak for a full on usage test since I haven't had it running. The consensus is that it works fine in the floor. There have been accusations of it smelling, but it being out in the hot sun last summer I didn't smell a thing.
