Need advice on expanding foam...
#1
I'm thinking of buying a few cans of this stuff from Home Depot and filling all the crevices and the voids in my car's construction with it. Especially the trunk and the trunk lid. This is the stuff that minimally expands so I don't foresee a problem. BTw, I sound deadened almost my entire car, if youre interested in seeing, the link is below. Thanks

Don't do what I did... I didn't read the directions and I pushed that extension straw in, but i was suppose to screw it in and it exploded all over and it took forever to get it off my hands and it is still on some of my clothes... I put some in my trunk and alot of people say that it is heavey....

Don't use the latex foam. It never hardens. Use the polyurethane. If you spray some in don't overdo it. The presure from expanding can destroy an auto body. It can pop welds. So do it in layers and mask everything you don't want foamed. be carefull around the lock mechanism - I just stuffed that with regular mattress pad foam. There are suposedly different densities of expanding polyurethane foam. Denser varieties are stiffer. There was an article about this in Sport Compact about a year ago. They were filling voids in the chasis of a 300Z with expanding foam and said it was the cheapest chasis stiffener ever. Most manufacturers use it in the factory anymore. I'm useing it in the nomex bubbles in the core material of my sub box. But still trying to find something denser than the normal 2lb/cu ft that's on Wal Mart and hardware store shelves.
