Any woodworkers?

We do not even have insulated garage doors in our area. Thought about putting layers of blue board topped with FRP. Have you ever insulated the doors after installation? Do you think this would work?

 

A friend insulated his new house garage door after install said it wasnt too bad. Helped a lot though

 

I know , the shit all sticks to the outside of the shop vac and hose haha

I couldn't get this exact blade in Canada but ended up with a similar product

There are kits for insulating them

 

I didn’t even think to look for a blade. Let us know if it actually reduces static dust.

 

I’ll have to check on the kit then. No so much as keeping the cold out but the cool air in during the summer. I only have window unit A/C on my shops. I lose a lot through the metal doors.

 

Home depot has them

 

Thanks looking now why waiting for glut to dry.

 

OMG, it’s cheap too. $50 per typical door. Mine are a little larger but I can just buy more kits to cover the 12’x14’ door.

 

My friend got one with 1" white foam. I didnt look since i didnt need it

 

Use heat for foam.

 

Were you drilling straight through or did you drill a little back out and drill some more. I had better luck drilling a little at a time and backing out.

 

I never looked into the acrylic ones. Are they difficult to turn?

 

I start with the drill press but mine only has 2 3/4” of travel. I then put it on the table and clamp it off to drill through a little at a time. I like to make sure the flutes are not getting clogged. I had a hidden fracture which made a couple of them split.

 

You have to have super sharp bits or carbide bits, and it cant be cold out. Not really a big problem for you down there. It was for me when i lived in idaho. Then take light passes taking material down, otherwise it grabs and whole thing pops
