No Title

Hi all, I'm working in the ice chest. I would like the liner to be removable.... any ideas? I left that 2 inch pieces so youncojld see how it steels my volume, I may just do 1 inch on the floor.

what can I line it with that I could fiberglass over then be able to lift out? just in case I ever need to get to them hoses...

 

[Goldie627]

I'm thinking I could cover the insulation and hoses with cardboard? then glass over that making the bottom slightly more narrow than the top so the finished fiberglass is basically a removeable tub... any advice?

 

[Goldie627]

from what I've been reading seems like epoxy won't melt the foam like poly or iso would...

 

[Goldie627]

the original ice chest was just a tub surrounded by what looked like 2 part foam

 

[Goldie627]

at this point im 90 % sure I'm not.going to do a drain, I can lift it out to dump the melted ice or get a small 12v pump maybe even a battery operated pump for that small amount

 

[Goldie627]

also some few guys freezing bottles of drinking water the night before and using that instead of ice that beat you have more volume I'm your box

the rest of the carpet binding is done I'll post some pics, the bow came out really nice! i wasnt gonna do the bow at first then changed my mind... I'm almost sure I'll run out of snards so I'll need to order more...

 

[Goldie627]

I found a distributer that has electronic ignition built in! comes with coil and spark plug wires! I'm so happy
