OK -- I have seen this in at least two van-build type threads as well as scattered elsewhere. However, I can only find a couple of them. And it would be useful to consolidate the discussion in one place.
I want to cover the exposed metal -- left over after putting on my sheets of wall cladding -- with fabric or fabric and insulation.
It looks like in both cases 3M-90 was used as the adhesive.
I would like to cover exposed metal with the wrappable/conformable/moldable automotive fabric that I have variously heard described as "trunk liner," "trunk carpet," "speaker box cloth", "needlepunch" and Flexform. In a couple of places I'd put it over Low-E first.
In any case, it needs to be unbacked so that it is conformable. And it needs to be non-woven (ie, won't ravel). Regular Indoor/Outdoor carpet would not be thin enough to wrap tightly to curves.
QUESTIONS:
Other suggestions?
Thanks!

- [dirt]Bag End covered exposed metal with Low-E and then covered that with cotton/poly fabric from JoAnn
- Advanturing covered wall panels and exposed metal with fabric sourced from Van Sepcialities

QUESTIONS:
- Are there any show-stoppers to using this material (whatever it is)?
- Has anyone done this (posts?)
- What exactly should I be looking for in my google searches?
- Any recommendations for sources for material?
Other suggestions?
Thanks!
