More insulation - continued
Cover the glued insulation with scrap plywood to put pressure on the contact cement.
After I let it sit overnight I wanted to see if this idea really worked so I hung it from the clothsline.
While it was hanging there I pulled on the fiberlgass at several places to check if it was holding to the plastic. It was attached to the plastic as well as it had been to the paper back rolls I removed it from. Even the part where I glued fiberglass to fiberglass. I was quite pleased it worked as well as it did. Given time it also expanded to the the approximate thickness I was aiming for.
Used duct tape to hold the panel up for a test fit in the van. The plastic sheet faces into the van. I'm expecting that when the fiberboard panels are screwed into place they will hold the the plastic backed pink fiberglass panels in place. If not I can use duct tape.
At the rate I'm going I should have all the van insulation work done ..... just in time for Spring.:S
