Walled Off

[rmzsuzuki89 10+ year member]

I've built a box for a wall in my expedition and am pretty much done. Just not sure what to use between the pannels of the wall, and my windows and roof as not to scratch anything too much and seal good.

I thought of using a silicone strip or something similiar, but my friend said cardboard would work...All suggestions highly appreciated.

Also thought that the carpet itself may suffice....

Ya, its not a wall yet, i gotta get the panels on (which will be mdf too), and im just talking about what would go between the panel itself and the windows/celing.

that could work, thanks...how bout door caulk, it dries rubbery so it would cushion the windows and seal good too...would this be better or worse than the foam tape?

calk is messy and will be alot harder to remove if you want to.Ive never had a problem with the tape ,should only cost 8 bucks or so,and you will be able to remove wall peices when you want to.

Id calk and let dry before install. But ya, it does seem like a bit of a sloppy hassel, especially with something as simple as tape around.

Thats what Ill be using, and carpeting the peices too. I figured Id just carpet over the tape.

what i did with my first wall was i built the wall peices and where ever there was a question of sealing i put an extra layer or two of carpeting in that spot then wraped the whole thing.Came out with a good seal and real clean
