Default Expanding foam question.

The answer is most likely no, but I was wondering if (minimal expansion)
expanding foam will take rawlplugs (my own generic name for the things).

tough job.

I also discovered that drinking straws can be used as a nozzle for this
stuff when your old one is solidly blocked.Â* Although I know that there
is more than one diameter for these things.


I swear by an old bag of polyfilla or better still Wickes fine
surface filler. It sets rock hard in about a minute, so excellent
for those oversized holes that wont hold the rawlplug in place.

Unlike old gypsum plaster, the Wickes variety can still be shaped
or scraped flat after its initial set but before it is dry. Also
sandable.
