Rigid styrofoam insulation

Anything to do with mechanical, construction etc

Friction won't hold it in my trailer. And I plan to glue hull liner to the interior of the foam, so there won't be any interior paneling to hold it in place.

I'm committed to the 3M adhesive, just waiting till the garage is a bit warmer to put it all in place.

check out reflextik insulation if you want a lite weight and good insulation. it is 2 sided foil bubblewrap. 1/4"thick and you stapel it into place. a friend is doing the interior of a airplane he is rebuilding as it is lite and warm. he did his remote cabin walls also and said it turned out warmer than the thicker ins. it comes in various sizes and im using 5ftx100ft roll. homedepot handeles it and its not expensive. it will suprise you on how it works. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

sounds like a good product...I have limited areas that I can access to insulate...I am not going to skin my Grasshopper to insulate. I'll access what I can between the galley and the cabin and see if that helps. I could feel the cold coming from that wall when I was in there today.
