foam drawer liner quick tip

[AV8R4AA]

I am sure that most of you garage freaks have some sort of tool box.
I have a Snap On unit.
I bought it off craigslist and brought it home and did a giant overhaul
and clean up on it.

The box had some foam liners that were fine. I purchased another roll
from Sears and did the rest. Not hard to cut them out and lay them in.

My problem was that the foam liner shifted when I open and close the
drawer. I tried several fixes but this one really works.

Get yourseld a big roll of the silver aluminum tape. The kind that has the
backing paper on it. DUCT TAPE WILL NOT DO!.

I cut off a length about the same length as the drawer.
Then stick one side on to the drawer bottom.
Stretch the tape and then press down the other end.

( you want the sticky side up) I then carefully layed the liner into the
drawer and pressed down the corners. The tape really sticks to the foam and the steel drawer well. Heat and cold does not affect the glue or aluminum.
I live in Texas and use it for my home AC ducting.
"Duct tape" WILL crumble and fall off over time from the intense attic heat.

I just use regular double sided tape to keep the liners in place, no issues yet.

You could also use a little dollop of silicone sealer in the corners. When the time comes to change it out the silicone should come off of the metal clean. Double sided tape will deteriorate over time and be a mess to get off if you have to change anything out.
