I'm getting ready to start working on the doors to the Camaro again. Next thing I have to do is put the new skins on. I'm planning on welding them on after I trial fit them to the car. I also want to feel the seams with epoxy, but that will be done after I gap the car because I will most likely do some edge welding.
I have a question on the flexible urethane foam. The original skins had several dabs of this stuff between the skin and the frame. I'm guessing this is done prior to the skin install, I don't think that you could get the gun/product in the door frame afterwards which would be ideal. My concern is the work time of the product. It just doesn't seem like enough time. (Sems is 15-25 seconds), 3m has one that is about 5 min. I guess I will just try to mimic the dabs the factory had, then set the frame in place. Also will these dabs of foam prevent moving the door skin prior to welding during a trial fit to the car. Maybe I'm over thinking it because I'm not sure how hard this foam gets. What do you guys suggest. Thanks Russ
