Frost King Door Panel Insulation

Post by pincheweddo »

There has been some mention to Frost King as a sound dampener, radiant barrier, insulation, beer opener, and winning lotto ticket calculator. Not sure about all that, but let me show you where it does work well. I have to say that I am quite surprised at how well it trimmed, fit, dampened and sealed. This was so easy to do and worked so well I am surprised that it isn't on most F'ers to do list. Just lay it down press it on and trim it with an xacto knife.

That looks like a good idea I might have to do as long as I can get the stuff in Canada. I also seen you made some panels for your roof from yoga mats, wouldn't this stuff work well on the roof and back of the cab?

Great question.

The frost king adhesive is weak. Any dust and it will not sick, so wipe down the surface real good. I wouldn't trust it in Texas heat on a vertical or upside down application, although it might be fine in the great white north. I will be using this on the roof side of my head liner.

For the door panels it almost perfect because it sticks and then is sandwiched between the 2 surfaces. The one down side I have seen, and may go away with time, is that it does put extra pressure on the door handle lever just enough from snapping into its original position after use. This happens on my passenger door, but not the driver door. It doesn't effect the operation of it.

It will be some time before I hit the road but the doors sound like one on a new car.

This is the yoga mat that I have been using: http://www.walmart.com/ip/24796476?wmls ... 90&veh=sem

That is good to know about it not being a strong glue, I will look into it and I might use it and just us some silicone on it to hold it up. The glue should hold it until the silicone dries.

Let us know if that works. Post it on this thread if you can.
