Spray foam is essentially the same thing as Gorilla Glue and that stuff
sticks to everything, apparently forever. I have some on my brief case
that is nearly 20 years old.
Another member sent me a note that he just cut his insulation oversize
and then bowed it go go into the door sections. I'm going to give that
a try. As long as it's not as thick as the door sections it should work
fine.
