Khorns and sealing to Wall and Floor

[BE36]

I have stucco walls, if I get khorns and but them up against the stucco will this be a tight enough seal to the wall? What about having them on a tile floor?

Thanks. I saw other pictures that did not show it nearly as good.

Could I seal the back with Plywood and accomplish the same thing or is that good theory but bad idea?

That is a another good question, and the answer is "yes".

This was actually done in the 60th anniversary K-Horns and others have done a similar mod, I believe one mod was actually reversible. Again, please search the previous threads.

Good Luck,

You can also try some 1/2" thick x 3/4" & 1/2" wide closed cell foam weather stripping. The pipe insulation works fine, but is a mess to clean up with the "sticky" residue (in Florida at least). I removed all of the pipe insulation and went to the stripping because it matches the size of the edges I wanted to seal, but without overlapping onto the horizontal surfaces inside the tops (and inside the tailboards). Another option is also 1/8" thick felt strips (comes in a roll). That seem to work just as well, and is more "WAF aesthetic" (= Wife Acceptance Factor approved), and would probably protect the stucco fairly well. Just some thoughts on that method.
