Hi all,
So as soon as the weather gets a bit warmer (and dryer!! ':angry:') here in MA I'll paint my WC60 Multi-Drink liner and start re-assembly.

As far as purchasing fibreglass insulation, is there anything specific I need to know?

- paper backed?
- any specific thickness?
- any types to avoid?

Do you guys use any adhesive material to hold the insulation in place?

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

I do it just like the factory , paper less and standard insulation .You can do a higher  r rating just don't go thicker. Just my two cents

Bob,

Use paperless to aid in avoiding water retention.
There was a discussion some time ago that talked about using cardboard to aid in re-assembly... This is the method I used to keep the insulation from compacting during liner insertion

The Cardboard Discussion is Here...

My six cents,

I also agree on using unfaced rolled insulation. I use the "Cardboard Method" as well, It works great!

All I could find for my machines was paper lined. All I did was remove the paper. It just pulls right off. I also use the cardboard method. It really works

I just got back from Home Depot and I couldn't find any "non-paper" rolled insulation.  Good to know the paper peels right off.  Thanks Josh.

Actually joey it is really three of your old machines. The 56 is the cabinet from a regular 56 square top you parted out and the door from the transitional that I sold you and then got back, and then the pepsi 88. I didn't relize that untill you said something. That is funny. '<img'>

That is the one machine that I decided to keep. It is in a sad state of half restoration in my moms garage. I destroyed the paint moving from tenessee to Ohio. I can't wait to strip it down and redo it in RC Cola again someday.

Yep the coin door to a cav 55 came open and kept banging against the machine. I had it shrinkwraped but it eventually tore the shrink wraping away.

I'm currently restoring a Pepsi square top, and I was wondering if any of you had tried using foam insulation instead of fiberglass insulation.  I was looking at the R values on insulation and fiberglass is 3-4 and Polyisocyanurate foam is 7-8, or is there some reason it wont work that I'm not seeing.
