Procedure
Cleanliness is critical. The cleaner the sheet metal, the better the glue and insulation will adhere.
- Carefully peel or scrape off all old insulation and glue using a scraper or putty knife.
- Wipe the surface thoroughly with a clean rag and a solvent like isopropyl alcohol.
- Dry the surface completely and ensure it is residue-free. Apply Adhesive
-
Using a small paint brush, apply glue evenly to the clean metal surfaces.
-
Press each piece of insulation firmly into place:
- Side panels (callout 2)
- Back panel (callout 3)
- Bottom panel (callout 4)
- Front panel (callout 5)
Ensure each piece is aligned and fully adhered.
