expanding foam in the heat?


Recommended Posts

some wise ppl told me to throw the can in the freezer for a bit, and/or spray at night.

I'll try this since kyle said to cool it down also. And ill do it in the afternoon.

i thought this was something that was already set up. Nevermind, i will leave now.

haha

Have duct tape at hand. Spray it in then tape up the hole. Move to the next one and repeat.

Also already at at.night when its cooler or early morning.

I cover as many openings as possible, but if air doesn't get to it so good then it takes a long time to dry also. I used two cans the other day when it was 40-50 outside and shook the shit out of the cans first, I had bought the cans last summer and never used them. They sprayed out awesome (foam) and basically set up right in place where I sprayed them out of the can. Probably the best experience i have had with the stuff honestly. I have about 6 more cans that are 1 year old like that. I sprayed multiple cans in the summer before and that shit ran and ran, I thought it was because i did so much at once but it might have been the heat. These are my own experiences so I don't really know. I normally spray the shit into places I can't see so meh, no clue

hope this helps

thanks, I was just gonna tape and then spray through other holes but i like the idea of spraying and then taping over it.

Cold can or not, if your vehicle is sitting in the sun and the metal is hot. It will not expand properly.
