Heater and Evaporator Replacement with Heater Box Restore

[Jack]

Heater and Evaporator Replacement with Heater Box Restore:
- That is what I'm currently working on.
- I need a good source or more info on the foam used on the Heater Box Flaps.
- Also what kinda foam to get for Heater Core piping.

Found a great video on youtube showing what I'm looking to find...
- Note that the double doors have been combined to one door by the foam, is that correct?
-- I ask because what purpose do two doors and two valves serve if they function as one?

So do you need a source for heater cores and evaporator cores or just for foam?

I used foam from a crafts store. Came with an adhesive on one side. Worked very well. Used fresh dum dum to seal the gaps.

The foam on my heater and evaporator core was more like sticky putty than foam. I just ignored it.

Just the foam. I have the cores already.

I'm heading to home depot now see what they have there.
I looked up that dum dum stuff, is it sticky? or is it pretty much the same putty that was used originally?
Thanks,

Dum dum is tacky as opposed to sticky. It is malleable so you can seal all the seams and holes in the air box.
