[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 318443, member: 437"] Here are a couple of in process shots. I ran out of daylight last night at about the halfway point. I am using double sided fiberglass carpet tape to hold the insulation in place while the silicone can set up behind it to seal out water intrusion between the insulation and aluminum. The carpet tape is strong enough that it would hold the insulation in by itself if I wasn't worried about water getting trapped behind it. The insulation that they had available was 3/16" thick, water, rot and mildew proof and weighs absolutely nothing. It also cuts like butter either with a pair of scizzors or a utility knife. I still have to cover 2 sides and the lid then seal the seams. Notice the old skool Tinboats decal that is unfortunately going to get covered over. #-o [/QUOTE]
