Hi

Bought a can of Polycell expanding foam for a job the other day - £7 odd in
Focus. Used a small amount. Wanted to use it again over the weekend and
everything is gummed up solid.

After its first use I wiped the thread on top of the can, cleared the tube
as best I could, but still U/S. Cleaned it all prior to second attempted
use, still U/S.

When I was in Machine Mart the other day I saw some 'No Waste' expanding
foam, but too pushed for time to look and it isn't on their web site.

Any tips on which brand survives more than one use?

(I don't intend to fill a canoe with it BTW).


Buy a gun for it -

They're £9.90 and keep the foam fresh for months. Also more
controllable and less messy.

Otherwise I think Polycell do a resealable one, but it wasn't very good
when we tried it.

Two questions about the guns:

1. What makes them easier to clean out than the plastic nozzle supplied
with the can?

2. The main problem I find with a part-used can is not with the nozzle
at all, but with the liquid inside the can very quickly going treacly
and losing its fizz.
