May 12, 2023 Door Seals Category: Doors
Working on the Doors continues. I wanted to see where the McMaster-Carr door seals would lay against the inner door shell. For the most part, the seals lay in place very well. Only two spots where the lip might be too thick and I will need to grind it down a bit. Many builders use Flox in a sacrificial door seal channel to build up the door frame edge in the thin spots. I don't think I'll need to do that. My next plan is to use SEM Texture Coat on the inside door shell before I paint the final color coat, but I want to mask off the area where the seal contacts the door so it would be against a smooth surface. I temporarily installed some sacrificial door seals then set the inner door shell in place. I traced a line around the edge of the seal to mark where I will mask it off. I'm also planning on adding an arm rest mounted to the door. I'll need to set the placement before I drill the mounting holes. I think it will make a nice addition.
