I was thinking about getting some foam in a can to fill an
open hole in a pipe chase in my study. But when I looked at
what Screwfix are offering, I changed my mind.

My big beef about spray foam is it non re-usable-ness ( I just made
that word up) Basically use it once and next time its all blocked
up. I've tried various solutions but none are reliable. I had a
small job to do for which it would have been ideal but not at the
cost of a whole tin's worth


I've managed to keep a foam gun going for some years now, just
cleaning between cans with acetone. Used regularly for small jobs,
wouldn't be without it.

2 things. Wear gloves. The warnings about skin contact are real.
Never noticed fumes. And remember to close the valve when you've done
- forgetting to do that killed the first gun.


Thanks.
