Day 23:
No pictures for today, but let me just put it to you this way. If I was making a book on how NOT to make a kegerator, using pour foam to insulate a door, especially when you have no experience with the stuff would definitely be in there.
Cutting away the excess foam was a pain. This stuff is hard as a rock and cutting through it was a hassle. Believe it or not, I found the claw end of a framing hammer to be the best at removing chunks of it. I'd remove a chunk, then file it down. It looks pretty rough, so I have no idea how I am going to cover it up on the inside of the door to make it presentable.
Also, another setback is that this stuff got all over the rubber gasket and in my attempts at separating it off the gasket, it tore, so I just removed the entire gasket from the door. I will have to replace it later.
All is not bad though, I was able to successfully dig out the latch and the foil I wrapped it in did its job keeping the foam out of the latch. Had that happened, it would have ruined the latch and rendered the door latch inoperable. The foam is basically done, I just need to come up with something to make the inside of the door presentable, get a new gasket, then start painting!
