BE36 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BE36 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 ...... 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, -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groomlakearea51 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 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.
