Lightproofing Q.

[Guest]

How would you guys go about lightproofing the doors on a C22 style storage cab?

I'm not really sure what type of doors they are, but irregardless of style generally weather stripping provides a pretty good barrier.

what about in the center where the 2 doors meet?

Hi Baller,
Look at these pics and you might get a better idea.

I'll get better pics if these dont help. Basically you make curtains with panda-paper for the front seems between the doors. For the perimeter of the doors I used flashing (eavedrip) . Then you stick your weather stripping to the flange of the flashing and you'll get a better seal.

Once again, I'll get you better pics if the pic doent do it for ya.



Hope this helps,

i have that black n white stuff make a curtain with a zipper? sound sufficient? and some weather stripping that sounds good

Make 2 curtains with no zipper. Make the curtains so that there is about 8-10 inches overlap in the middle where the door seem is.

hey baller,
i lightproofed my c-24 with weather stripping, it stays out of the way and i don't have to funk with black/white poly... but make sure you buy the expensive rubberized stuff at home depot or wherever.
doing the spot between the doors was the easiest part, i just put one piece of weatherstrip down the inside edge of the door... you know...sandwiched in between them, then i adjusted them tighter together with the adjustments on the hinges.

those door adjusting hinges are the shit, just use a good screwdriver cuz those little bitches like to strip out. lemme know if you need some pics, ill see if i can get a few for ya.

I've got a two door cabinet and I made my mine light proof with the cardboard box it came in, it was free and I didn't have to worry about adjusting the doors at all. I'm not quite done yet.
