whole can. Once you start squirting it through the tube, you have to
keep going because once it sets up the tube is plugged forever. If
there are a lot of little holes you want to seal, go for it. Just
don't go nuts, this "stuff" keeps expanding for a while and will warp
window frames and bubble out all over if you use too much. A little
dab will do you.

Thanks for the 'heads up' on using that expanding stuff.

Your friend used the wrong foam.

Dow Window and Door is made to be minimally expanding so as not to bow
window or door frames.

I've used it on all my windows and doors and never had a frame
problems. The only problem is when you use too much and it keeps
expanding out for hours.

Dow also makes a minimal expanding foam for gaps and cracks. I haven't
tried this one:
