DIY: first two panels almost done! po...

So, I decided I'll build frames later, and just use the panels frameless for now. I can't sew, so creating a slip bag was out. Staples (as I thought) didn't work so well.

So, I got a hot glue gun, cheap, effective, and worked well. The glue gun + a pack of 10 sticks cost $15 total. I used the glue at high temperature setting, and glued the two insulation panels together. The outer panel is Roxul 60, and the inner panel is OC703.

Next, going one edge at a time, I wrapped the edges of the fabric around, and glued the fabric to the OC703. Not unlike wrapping a present. I didn't have enough fabric to completely enclose the back, so I'll probably get something cheap like muslin to finish the back of the panel.

I used gaffers tape to further secure the fabric to itself, and to the panels. It seemed to work pretty well. So yeah, the first two wall panels are practically done!

Here's links to the pics on my facebook page.

I still need to cut up the Roxul Safe N Sound into squares so I can build the corner column traps. My wife won't let me do the cutting in the house though, so I haven't got around to it yet, hehe. The fabric limits how tall I can make part of the column, so I have to split the column into 4 21-inch segments. :/
