BTDT

During the summer of 2000 I reno'ed the inside of my van and insulated with
pink fibreglass, urethane foam and rubberised asphalt membrane.

The self- adhesive membrane made by EMCO - "Progard"

"Plastized" asphalt with a polyethylene membrane on one side and adhesive on
the other.

I posted the details posted then.

You might find it in the err, ahem... archives? :)
