Re: [VAC] Expanding foam sealant
I'd offer a word of caution regarding the foam in the walls idea. After
attempting to: find leaks, snake wires, trace wiring, repair a vent stack and
other things I can't recall at the moment, I cannot immagine having to work
around that foam. The stuff hardens like a rock, and is difficult to cut
through even with a very good knife. I'd summize that if you ever had to get
into that wall cavity, you'd be better off to remove the outside skin!
I'd think twice before I used that stuff in any RV application, because it is a
PERMANENT application in most instances. I like working on my stuff as needed,
and will continue to use "removeable" insulation in the body cavities. I will
however continue to use it liberally in my old house foundation to plug mouse
holes.
