eds Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hi When removing the floor planels there is a strip of black tape making the seal. What is this tape called so I can get more? Thanks Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It's called this: http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/2496/MRC8626-FLOOR-PANEL-TO-PANEL-SEAL-STRIP.html Personally I just used some draught excluder style adhesive foam strip when I did mine. Ensure it's closed-cell so it won't hold moisture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim1 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I was thinking of using silicone I assume that would be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Well it would but: A: It leaves behind a residue that makes painting harder in the future. B: The floors would be a pain to remove in the future. A roll of the stuff I used was pretty cheap from Homebase or the like, seemed the best option.

Maverik Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I used meters of the stuff when I re-built the 90, its very and would recomend using foam tape as apposed to silicone. you can get all different types of thickness lengths and widths if you do a bit of searching... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3m-Black-Single-Sided-Foam-Tape-20mm-Wide-x-3mm-Thick-/270709246769?pt=UK_Crafts_Cardmaking_Scrapbooking_Glue_Tape_EH&hash=item3f07874b31#ht_302wt_895 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
