I'm making some repairs and adding some sound deadener to the inside of the doors of my Cruiser, and while I have the interior panels off I'd like to re-glue the door skins to the crash bars. The door panels (and hood panel) have separated from the supports, and it allows the panel to move more than I'd like. Most OEMs use 2-part closed-cell urethane foam as far as I can tell.
I have found the foam online for ~$35 and up depending on brand and quantity, but the 2-part foams take a special gun to apply and mix them. The gun is spendy (relative), and I am having a hard time justifying the purchase for such limited use.
A few options:
1 - Pony up, buy the gun and foam and do it my damn self.
2 - Find someone that has the gun that will rent/lend it to me, and buy my own foam.
3 - Find someone that will rent me a gun, and sell me some foam assuming they have it in bulk or something...
4 - Find a body shop that I could just take my Cruiser to with the panels removed, and have them apply it in their own shop.
The door panels are removed, and my windows are out for cleaning of the tracks/regs, so option #4 would be chilly, but it would be the easiest for me obviously...
Thoughts? Insight? Experience? Is there something better than the OEM foam that I could possibly apply without special equipment?
Thank you.
