So I started my kegerator project this evening and ran into a problem. I took the door off, and started removing the molded plastic shelving. I cut around the perimeter with a utility knife, then used a strong putty knife to pry under the plastic to separate it from the foam insulation underneath. Well, I got the whole thing off, but it took a good amount of the foam with it. I was able to salvage a decent sized chunk of the foam and fit it back into place, but I'm still left with a a lot of room to fill...up to 1.5" in some spots. My plan is to line the inside of the door with a piece of dry erase board (or something similar) so that I have a nice flat, good looking surface. My question.....what do I use to fill that space where the foam is missing? Expandable spray foam? Spackle? Obviously, I want something that will insulate as well as just fill the area. Once filled, I will put the dry erase board in place and run a bead of silicon adhesive caulk around the edge to seal it. That seam will then sit behind the gasket that forms the door seal...
So yeah...ideas on filling that missing foam insulation space? Might it be a better/easier idea to remove the remaining foam, and fill the entire area with foam insulation sheets from Home Depot?...and fill in the gaps with the expandable spray foam, of course...?
