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.

Maybe I'll find some other way to block the hole.

Just use it. Don't forget these labels have to cover people who may work
with these substances day in, day out and are to protect the
manufacturer for the 1 in 1000 or those that have a problem. Occasional
exposure for short periods is almost zero risk.

Just make sure the area is ventilated, use the stuff and leave the room.

Rigid PU foams are relatively OK although you really don't want to get
yourself sensitised to isocyanate vapours. Flexible foams where the
vapour pressure of the active monomer is much higher are more dangerous.

Just make sure the area is ventilated, use the stuff and leave the room.

I was worried, as I have just spent three weeks in hospital, for
respiratory troubles. So warnings about breathing problems got my
attention.

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.

Keep a bag of Wickes fine surface filler that is out
ogf date (or get some plaster of paris), Stuff the main part
of the hole with any suitable filling material like cardboard/papermache
and overfill with quick setting filler.

The one thing it does not say is how long these hazards last, ie if its ony
while curing you need a realistic time for this hazard to be minimal.

See if you can find some EU red tape - it should be in the box along
with the foam - and pack the hole with that.

And then reflect on what happens when you let a lawyer make laws.

I think it is ok to use. I would make sure you wear safety glasses, just
in case of an accident.

Wear disposable gloves and old clothes, it *will* try to get everywhere
