Line an esky with polyurethane
« on: December 31, 2015, 05:54:06 AM »
I'm thinking about lining my standard esky with scrap polyurethane foam sheets. To make it into a bit of a DIY icebox. Wondering if anyone has done something similar - and how that worked out?

I did it many years ago using 1 inch polystyrene with a double thickness at the base. Ice lasted four days in the hottest weather.

Does your standard esky have foam in the walls and inside the lid? if not, get a pressure pack of expanda foam and drill a couple of holes where it won't cause a problem, like in the bottom inline with the walls and either end of the lid and squirt some in there.
4.2L TD Toyota Troopy, (Clarke's Country Camper Trailer, softfloor.) sold it and bought a Avan Ray small poptop caravan.
