Hi, I'm getting ready to replace my engine hatch 2 1/2" egg crate foam for my 2006 244 FourWinns. I'll be using new oem egg crate foam that is still currently being used by FourWinns. I'm looking for a good adhesive that has a great heat resistance that will grab and hold up over time. I've been in contact with 3M in which they recommended their Super Trim Adhesive 08090. After searching online, I found it anywhere from $28.00 to $42.00 for a 19oz. can. Here's the kicker.... According to my application, 3M stated that the adhesive requires three coats for each surface. I'll be replacing approx. 35 sq. ft. which requires approx. 14 cans.... Costing approx. $400.00... WoW!! I also asked 3M if they had a brushable type, they stated that they didn't. Brushable would be nice for at least the underside of the hatch.... I'm sure that's going to be a real P.I.A. to try to spray in the tight areas.
Other than that, I've seen insulation hangers w/ clips. Not sure how that would work out for 2 1/2" egg crate foam or if it's a good way to go. I don't have t worry about salt due to living in Michigan.
If you have had any experience with a great foam adhesive for this type of application and/or have used / installed the hanger type w/ clips, I would sincerely appreciate your time in giving me your input. I want to get this right the first time. Thank You. Ray
Hatch also has egg crate foam on both sides which is triangular shaped (not shown) Looking on the right side panel in the picture, it's shaped like that... approx. 18 x 30"
