plug up the opening of a 2" cable conduit for soundproofing
I have built 2 rooms with a soundproof window between them. I have
buried a 2" diameter PVC conduit under the concrete slab between these 2 rooms, and the opening on either side of the conduit comes up to grade level in both rooms. I am passing sound system cables from one room to the other through the conduit. Now that I have passed the cables through, I like to stuff/plug up the openings of the conduit with some form of putty material. This material should remain soft so that I can take it out again when I need to add or remove the cables. Any suggestions on what material I can use to plug up the conduit openings? How about plumbers' putty? Thanks |

Give it a "shot" of spray foam in each end

how about clean rags or towels?
plumber's putty would do the job but it's messy. it would slow down water and insects. |

The clay never dries out. Steve King |
