Roughing in the Fridge / Freezer

I chose to place the fridge right next to the cabin door so that cold drinks can be readily available to the skipper.

The interior panels have been sheathed one side with a 12 oz. biaxial glass and epoxy.  To prevent infra red  heat absorption, the inner side of the outer cabinet will be lined with a thin aluminum foil. The surrounding void between the ice box shell and the cabinet will then be filled with a two part expanding polyurethane foam.

Allen: are you using gorilla glue to glue foam?

I built the hulls and bulkheads with a product made by System Three ( same as Gorilla glue ) System three had trouble with their packaging of the product and at one point would not even ship product. I tested the moisture cure Gorrila Glue and in most cases, it is at least as strong as the foam itself. For critical joints, I use a thixotropic mixture of cabosil and epoxy whipped up to the consistency of peanut butter.
