Question 1

Can this be reused for more than one job?  (unlike others that have to use the whole can in one go)

Accepted Answer

Hi Simon, To me it seems all DIY foams, ie non gun types are only of use for one day. Although with this one you could control the foam and do different jobs, the tube clogged up and the foam went solid, so that you could not continue to use it unless you could clear the tube somehow. I managed to clear it and use it several times hours apart on the same day but had no confidence in it being something you could use one day and then store for a month for example before getting it out for use again. If you want to do that I think you need to get on to the gun type where you fit your reusable gun on to a can. Yes this can is better, it gives you the chance to use it on several jobs spread out over a day but to put away in storage for use at a later date I don't think so. I don't think I will buy it again as the cost was a fair bit more than others but apart from the control, its not really that much different to cheap cans from what I could tell. Hope that helps you.

Question 2

We had new windows put in and they left a bad bad job. Every window has a gap around them and causes cold draughts. Will this stop the problem.

Accepted Answer

Hi Antony, If you just want to fill gaps and stop draughts then yes this will do it although beware many people find them messy to work with, ie the foam can keep coming out a little even after you stop pressing the trigger. I use a gun type which is much more controllable but not worth getting unless you are going to use foam often. One thing to bare in mind, foam isnt great if it gets wet so if you think it will get any exposure to rain etc then there are 2 types of foam, there is open cell and closed cell. This will be open cell meaning it will not get as hard and it will have tiny air pockets which is fine for many tasks but if you want a bit of moisture resistance and a stronger foam then closed cell will be better but it will be more expensive. I find most closed cell foams dont expand as much as open cell, which in some cases is preferrable.

I hope that is of some help to you

Kind Regards
