  • i used a heat resistant silicone. the tube said it was good to 300 degrees Fahrenheit

  • did you have any issues with the foil-backed foam "melting" ??? I too used foil-backed foam, but it melted the first day and completly deformed itself. Just wondering.

  • @vpbubbies no melting on mine. I used a good quality polyisocyanurate from Dow

  • Hi, well done!

    What is the airflow and what is the cubic feet of the room?

  • with a 4" outlet the air flow is about 900' per minute that would be 80 CFM. The room I have it in is 12X12X8 but has 3 large doorways leading to three other rooms about the same size. I estimate it produces4000 BTUs of heat per hour and runs for about 520 per year

  • Do you just let the fan run all the time?

  • The fan is turn on and off by a snap disc control. When the temp inside the unit get to 110 degrees it turns on the fan and when it goes down to 90 degrees it shuts off.

  • Why are you pulling air from basement? I think if you circulate in the house it's better.

    Thanks for sharing

  • @vpbubbies You could use dry wall on top of the foam to act as a thermal barrier but that would also increase the weight somewhat, or you could build the unit with a wooden inner and outer skin with a foam core, less complex would be to just pony up the money and get god quality foam from the outset.

  • Excellent presentation, clean product... very time consuming.

  • @yzerman1997

    Google?

  • @wobmed hello from chile

    threres not inuuff place for everybody because they taken all the f,n land !!!! rock on richy allen,sorry not the same site; love to you all.

  • @vpbubbies You should use fire resistant foam, high end foam will be resistant to heat.

  • Hi, Looks pretty simple like you do it, i'm sure its more work than it looks like:-)

    you said it was 20 degrees F? How cold would this work? would it work at -20 to -25 celcius. right now it 17.7 degrees F
