Moisture Barrier In Doors (not Hood Obviously!)

[baj25]

I bought some visqueen to use as a waterproof barrier in the doors of our VW van, but I can’t find anything that will stick it to the door! I tried silicon first (as I already had a tube), no joy, so I bought some sikaflex 221 and no joy either. Adhesion to the door is fine, it is the visqueen that won’t stick. Any suggestions of an adhesive that would work, or an alternative sheet material that will work with sikaflex? TIA, Brian

Hi Brain

 

At work if we need glue to polyethelyne the only stuff that works with any effect is good quality double side tape.

Hobbyist spray glue sticks plastic sheets to door frames, I did it all the time when I used to work the car security and stereo installation. I just wish I could remember the brand. You can control the spray to a 1 cm wide path, spray the outer edge of the the door (behing the panel obviously) and any where where it may "buzz" under vibartion. The solvent in it smelt nice as well, man!

dont know what sikaflex is but try contact adhisive so you do both sides if not go see a good carpet shop and ask for the better double sided tape not the little crap rolls that everyone can buy . then put double sided to plastic and contact to van or double side to van give it a go iam a cpt fitter so i know that propper double sided is better than the crap

This is a quote from the Visqueen pdf

 

Visqueen High Performance DPM should be overlapped by a least 150mm and bonded with Visqueen Double Sided Jointing

Tape.

 

So double sided tape looks the way to go .
