Refer Dow Blew board insulation, more work done - 2011

June 2011 - At Marina Cortez, San Diego, CA

OK we did our Tuesday night refer project work out. 

 Debbie mixed up some epoxy and then painted it on the top of the freezer where there was just wood. This is the area of the top of the freezer that extends under the shelving behind the stove. She did this to provide a moisture layer. This will seal the wood and prevent moisture from coming into the freezer from the plain wood. The rest of the freezer is a fiber glass shell so no problem with moisture entering.

Note:

 The mixture is 4.1  Which is four parts epoxy to one part hardener. It has got to be well mixed and the mixture need to be exact or it will never harden.

Next Debbie mixed up some epoxy and bubbles(fiber glass bubbles) and we used the new drill paint mixer end. It worked great!

Debbie applying some radius's to the edges of the foam in the refer.

The Debbie applied some radius's to the edges of the foam in the refer.

 Another round of that and it will probably finish the smoothing of the foam edges off for the refer.

On the freezer side we trimmed the left over spray foam from where we had sprayed it last time and then started measuring for “Dow Blew board insulation” foam cutting. 

We fit some more insulation for the freezer side. 

Debbie also glued in a few pieces of that Dow Blew Board insulation.

Up under the that wooded piece is where Debbie sealed up.

 Next we will spray foam in the few voids in that area. So that end is done also. That is the end next to the stove.

 Here you see the three fitted pieces to be glued and then foamed in, one at a time glue\dry then foam\dry etc . 

 The bottom larger piece goes on the bottom and then up one and one more.  So there are few few more side pieces to cut and one for under the top. Then we can then glue in the larger bottom piece of Dow Blew Board insulation, the cut we made. Repeat and then the next one etc. We are getting close to the finish line on Dow Blew Board foam for the freezer. Then we can remove all the extra Dow Blew Board foam from the boat and be done with all the cleanup.

It is now foam, let harden, then glue in insulation and let dry then repeat.

We have been doing this for a while now but fitting the foam takes most of the time.

Sure am getting tired of all the clean up and fitting of foam. Glad when this part of the project is done. We can see the light for the insulation to be done. It is almost time to fit the evaporatorflat plate into the freezer.
