After many week of work and mess I'm on the home stretch. I'm onto fairing the corners and smoothing the seams. I want things smooth and easy to wipe down for the many washings this fridge will undergo in the future.
In the photo above you can see both of the holes I've cut in the fridge. One in the front for a nice wide door and one in the top to so I can share an evaporator plate with my pizza prep area.
Here is a close look at the seam between the interior and the exterior walls. There I have to span three inches of insulation with lots of epoxy and fiberglass chop cloth.
A look at the inside of the fridge. After sanding all the seams smooth, I put two coats of epoxy over the entire interior to make it one watertight surface.
Sasha and I are too cheap to buy the special attachment to connect the shop-vac to the sander so I got creative with my mustache-print duct tape.
I learned my lesson last time I sanded fiberglass inside the boat--- it make a huge mess! This time I taped up drop cloth that I pinned closed when I was working to help contain the dust. It did a nice job of controlling the mess, but it was hot, hot, hot inside!
