Carpet the ceiling?? Polyiso insulation??

[NewSkewlHauler]

I'm considering doing something similar on the ceiling. I was thinking about glueing a thin carpet pad to the metal (the guy at the carpet store said to use a spray adhesive), then put fabric (probably from Wally World) over the top of that. Basically, like an automotive headliner. My wife seems to think that Elmers glue-all should work...I'm skeptical. We'll see when I get to it if it works! Good luck with yours.

Ben.

I don't think Elmer's will work. Try 3M elephant snot. That should work.

I can tell you that it works pretty good. I have bought many dozens of cans over the years. Just don't buy more than you need because it doesn't store well. I had full unused cans go bad.

I hope he doesn't have as many ribbits as the Blue Bird because it will take him about two years to cut those ribbits off. There must be 1 1/2 million ribbits on the inner roof.

will removal of inner roof panels result in some loss of structural integrity? If so any idea how much?

shuttle bus' have carpet all over them. all the carpet is glued to pannels that are mounted in place. should be nice in a full sized bus. go with commercial grade me thinks.

I glued foam insulation to the metal and then the carpet onto that using Liquid Nails...it worked really great and have not had any loose carpet or foam in over a year now.

Strictly for amusement; to illustrate what an interesting world we live in: I have a can of that 3M 77 glue that I use occationally for this and that -- maybe once every couple of years. Works great every time. I bought that can for the upholstery in my second roadster -- around 1990.

I just want to watch you guys vacuum the carpet! It should be a kick to watch! Hope you don't have pets... dusting the carpet on the ceiling for fleas would be a hoot!

In case of flees, Just lysol the carpet. The flees dont like the stuff.
