kasper · 02-10-2009, 03:24 PM

Kraqa · 02-10-2009, 03:58 PM

I’m buddy’s with the guy so it more of a favor type dealy. I’ve helped him out with materials for steel work. He’s helping me out for this.

It looks like giant smurf poop!

That's cool you have access to that... the expanding foam cans from Home Depot add up fast!

TLTCrawlin · 02-10-2009, 04:04 PM

I like that its not super smooth, or jagged. Cant wait for updates

Kraqa · 02-10-2009, 08:09 PM

i cut em off the cardboard with a sazall

redmiller · 02-10-2009, 08:12 PM

looks like it might get a lil messy how is it holdin up after a few passes

Kraqa · 02-10-2009, 08:23 PM

Kraqa · 02-10-2009, 08:25 PM

it needs to be sealled. for sure.

this stuff is pritty tough. not liek the mono foam shit.

i'm going to sand it down carve some shit out of them then seal it with a sand paint and then paint em liek rocks.

i need to find a way to make them stick to the carpet better.

no slip mat, its something you put under rugs or furniture so the dont slide. kind of like the rubber shelf liner some have an adhesive side.http://home-decor.hsn.com/scarboroug...021485_xp.aspx

Kraqa · 02-10-2009, 08:47 PM

carpet tape will work till i get them coated then the mat woudl be great. someone on another board suggested i form the foam around water bottles. then i can fill them to use em and then drian them when i'm done.

i still need to shape these better. less material around the base of them so i can get them closer together.

RobCam · 02-10-2009, 09:03 PM

i know your buddy hooked you up. but if i wanted the same what kind of companies do spray foam like that? and any idea on prices? thanks

Lonewolf · 02-10-2009, 09:11 PM

For home use a guy could use that spray foam for sealing around doors and windows....There aree also resources for buying 2 part fom in bulk. Now that ive seen this idea Im gonna see how much 2 part foam i have a work... google expanding foam...

Kraqa · 02-10-2009, 09:13 PM

two part foam of good. you have to poor it though unless you get an expensive spray gun.

the company i we use has a gun.

i'd phoenix spray foam is international i think.

search spray insulation. or contact a comercial building supply store. Spray foam is becomeing vry popular in buildings so they should point you in the right direction.

Lonewolf · 02-10-2009, 09:17 PM

Persoanlly I would pour it over a shape then work it as it expands then trim as needed, only because I wont shoot that thru my gun.... not even if I had the right tip..... goooowey sticky nasty sh***. Like a boooger ya cant flik...

Kraqa · 02-10-2009, 09:20 PM

this gun is meant for the two part foams.

but yai guess if you get one that expands slow and has a cure time pooring it might be a great idea.

Lonewolf · 02-10-2009, 09:29 PM

The stuff I have takes about 20 minutes start to finish with about 10 minutes of work time. Tho working it tends to effect how it expands too hard to explain... I used it as floation for my F/E boats...I think This might be a weekend project..... Save the milk jugs....
