Anyone used that Fischer 2-part foam designed for fixing door and
window frames in lieu of using regular fixings?

Was wondering whether to use it to fix my french doors (plus
sidelights either side) as the frame is 2400mm wide and in my
opinion it is too wide for the gear to work/secure it properly.

What do you reckon?

Is this any different to fixing using normal 1-part expanding foam ?
Anything special about the 2-part ?

Not really, except that it is applied using a mastic gun, the outcome is
virtually the same, except you don't need to buy a foam gun
So why does a 2-part have to be used in a gun? I thought the main difference was the strength once cured? The 2-part is more of a structural solution as opposed to the 1-part?. Or am I barking up an expensive tree?
