Title: inner door moisture seal plastic - or whatever they call them Post by: Roybeth on April 10, 2020, 10:35:15 AM Can you buy these - I know Australian door cards make some but doesn't appear to have them for FC's - or do we just have to make our own from plastic sheeting?

It's easiest to make your own from heavy-duty plastic sheeting - say the kind used in building sites, or the heaviest gauge plastic bag material you can find. The plastic is stretched into place and held in at the bottom of the door opening by the nylon door trim caps. But use lots of spray contact adhesive, and make sure there's a watertight seal all the way around. It also helps to waterproof the back of the door trim card with something like Bar-D-Kay or even varnish.

If you have not already done so, when you make the plastic moisture seal and install it, seal the top and two sides and make a small slit in each corner at the bottom and tuck the bottom section inside the door. Do it in reverse and you can seal the bottom first and work your way up to the top.

Probably a little while off before I put door cards on - everythings going very slowly - too much work and too many projects :-( . And of course when I go to finish off that "quick" job, I find more needs to be done or while doing that job you find all these other little things that "probably should be done while I'm at it and got it all open …..!" I do have the plastic plugs to use - thanks for the tips. Helen |
