Technical Inner door plastic

Where can i get the clear inner door plastic. Its .010" thick. Visqueen is thinner.

 

Check your local hardware store, they should have various sheets in different thicknesses. If no go, the web offers everything.

 

home depot.

 

The typical sheet quan***y is too much for a car interior. Look for super HD trash bags, drop cloth (plastic) or other smaller amounts.

 

I got some from a fabric store. They had it in a couple of thicknesses on a roll. You could buy as much as you needed.

 

Home Depot. They have plastic sheet from 1 mil thick (paper thin) to 6 or 7 mil (which is much thicker). Plus, you'll have enough to do a half dozen cars for very little coin........

Clear vinyl (no texture) shower curtain

 

Even better.

 

I used the contractor size trash bags cut to fit inside the doors on the Ranch Wagon. HRP

 

I used the plastic that goes under a vinyl floor . It is provided in a roll works well.

 

All the stuff you buy at the big box stores is too thin. It needs to be .010".

 

10 mil is .010 thick.

 

As mentioned you can get many different thicknesses of plastic at the big box store, but does it really matter? All it has to do is provide a moisture barrier, and once it's installed and the inner door panel is in place it's not like it's in danger of being damaged.

 

I went to a local furniture store and the manager gave me the plastic sheets that mattress' come in. It was thicker and worked great. And, it was free.

 

What was the original material they used (white) to attach the plastic. its like a sticky putty.

 

I use this product to hold the plastic on.

 

In my shop we used 3M Ribbon Sealer, part #8610. Bought it from my local Napa store. Looks like strip calk but MUCH stickier.

 

Spoken like a true retired dude

 

Anything listed as 10mil will work. Extra heavy duty trash bags from Amazon.

 

What mil visqueen are you looking at, It comes up to 100 mil, finding it in small quan***ies might be a issue. Check some construction supply houses not the box stores.

 

I used clear shelf contact paper from the local hardware store. (It’s used to cover shelves in cupboards. Comes in all sorts of patterns)
It’s thick enough and...it’s adhesive backed and sticks just enough.
I removed an inner door panel this summer after installing in 09’and it still looked just like it did when installed.
