So I'm building this portable kegerator... It's unfinished right now (still needs a cover, trim, tap, wheels, handle, etc.) but I've already got a problem and I'm hoping to get some suggestions from you guys (and gals).
I scored a free 4x8 sheet of 1/4" hdpe and a sheet of 2" foam so I decided I was going to make this thing that would rival a yeti cooler and keep my beer cold for an entire weekend of camping or whatever.
Having never worked with this high density polyethylene (hdpe) before, I had no idea that it is virtually impossible to get anything to stick to it. The inner structure is all screwed together and I put a bead of silicone all over the internal seams and thought all was well... But then a few days later I realized that it just peeled right off. After some Google searching, I began to realize that this was probably not the correct choice for material. It seems that it needs to be welded together or I need to use some fancy super expensive chemicals to bond it.
The problem with that is the foam is already mounted and the panels are already permanently attached so disassembly is not really an option.
Any suggestions?
