To caulk the inside of your chest freezer for cold immersion, you'll need the following supplies:

  1. A tube of adhesive sealant specifically designed for use on refrigerators and freezers. We used Loctite PL Marine Fast Cure Adhesive Sealant.

    When picking an adhesive sealant for your chest freezer, there are a few factors to consider. First, it's important to choose a sealant that is specifically designed for use on refrigerators and freezers. This will ensure that the sealant is able to withstand extreme temperatures and maintain a strong bond. Additionally, look for a sealant that is waterproof and food-safe, as the sealant will be in contact with water and potentially food items. Finally, consider the ease of application and drying time of the sealant – you'll want to choose a product that is easy to apply and dries quickly.

  2. A caulk gun

  3. A scraper or putty knife

  4. A clean cloth or sponge

  5. Rubbing alcohol (optional)

Here's how to do it:

  1. Start by cleaning the inside of your chest freezer with a cloth or sponge and rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt or debris. This will help the sealant to adhere properly.

  2. Using the caulk gun, apply the adhesive sealant along the seams and corners of the freezer where the walls meet the floor and lid. Be sure to apply the sealant in a continuous bead to ensure a strong and reliable seal.

  3. Use the scraper or putty knife to smooth and level the sealant, making sure to remove any excess.

  4. Allow the sealant to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions. This can take several hours or overnight, depending on the product.

After you think you've finished caulking your chest freezer, it's important to test for leaks to ensure that the seal is reliable. Here's how to do it:

  1. Fill the chest freezer with ice water and place a towel or piece of cardboard on the floor beneath the freezer.

  2. Close the lid and wait several hours or overnight to allow the sealant to fully cure.

  3. Check the towel or cardboard for any water or moisture. If there is no water or moisture, the seal is likely tight and reliable.

  4. If there is water or moisture on the towel or cardboard, there may be a leak in the seal. You can try re-applying the sealant to the affected area and repeating the test.

By testing for leaks, you can ensure that your chest freezer is properly sealed and ready for cold immersion. Remember, it's important to use the right adhesive sealant and follow the instructions carefully to achieve the best results.

 

DISCLAIMER: Using a chest freezer for cold immersion at home can be dangerous if not done properly. Consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating cold immersion into your routine, and always use caution. Unplugging your freezer before your next cold immersion session will prevent the risk of electric shock and death. We are not responsible for any injuries or damages that may result from using a chest freezer for cold immersion at home. Any reliance on the information provided is done at your own risk. BY CONTINUING ON THIS PAGE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO THE ABOVE STATEMENTS.
