Ron,
I used 3mm panels, sealed the top with 2 coats, 1 coat on bottom of varnish thinned 30%. Some use plastic shower panels, what ever material you use,
take a scrap piece and work the width needed (don't use the original panels, they're probably short by now), measure 3 times and cut once.
When installing the panels, 2 person is best to put the sides in then get something that's 30" or so wide
by the length of the panel, to push the panel center up, or you'll stand a chance of cracking it dew to
openings. The hardest panels to install for me was over the fridge/galley and the rear going into closet/shower (without braking).
If you use some upholstery material, use only DAP Weldwood HHR #70798 00095 contact glue (High Heat Resistant) look for at upholstery suppliers. Or
the material will come down in the heat of summer.
For insulation I used foam boards from HD or Lowes, 2 layers of 3/4" and can foam for glue. You must hold the pieces in place until the foam sets, the
expansion will dislodge the piece. About the OEM foam, I used a scraper to remove it. I feel that foam wasn't for insulation but more for sound
control. MacMaster-Carr sells spray foam in small containers size.
Need more, text or call.
