Re: [RC] Glue for insulation--horse trailer LQ - Mary Ann Spencer

A friend told me he visited the place where LQs were being made. He said they used duck tape to hold the insulation and then the paneling went over that.

Subject: [RC] Glue for insulation--horse trailer LQ

I have an '02 Silver Star horse trailer with extended tack, 7' on the
short wall and 11' on the long.

It is just too cold to continue camping in a trailer that does not have
LQ/insulation on the walls.  I eventually intend to add LQ, but just can't
do it right now, moneywise.

I am considering adding 3/4" thick foam insulation panels, available at
Lowe's.  Only problem is, I don't know what kind of glue is safe for the
aluminmum skin of my trailer.

The insulation has aluminum backing on each side.

Can anyone suggest the proper glue to use to protect my aluminum trailer
and the insulation?

Also, how would a professional installer do the job?  I assume the proper
way to add the insulation is to glue it directly to the trailer skin.  Is
there a heat barrier that can be added for safety?  This stuff says it is
flammable... I want this trailer SAFE instead of a death trap if there is
ever a fire.

Thank you,

Mike
