Thanks. \ I am in Australia. I don't know about Australia, but here in the US we have "Great Stuff" made by the Dow Chemical company. I goes in as a foam, expands, and then hardens to a creamy color. It can be carved after hardening. If you have it there, be sure to use disposable plastic gloves when applying it as it gets pretty sticky and hard to get off your hands. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |

But if you get it on your clothes, do so in a pattern or design that you like because it's gonna be there forever. G |

And practice a little to get a feel for how much the foam expands, it has a way of squishing out all over the place when it is over-applied. |

I just looked these up to verify that such products are available in Oz. No doubt there are other manufacturers too. Great for keeping those stinging biting beasties out along with the drafts and dust. -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] http://johnmcgaw.com |

If you need to contact the Australian distributor to find a local dealer you can contact Phone No. (3) 9360 0866, Mark Burmistrow -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] http://johnmcgaw.com |
