DAP Touch ‘n Foam Max Fill Maximum Expanding Foam Sealant, Off White, 12 Oz (7565000043)

Part One: FOR EVERYONE: HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE CAN WITHOUT WASTING THE PRODUCT OR GETTING FRUSTRATEDSome of the reviewers have complained that when they attach the tube, the green metal can starts spraying before they can get the clear tube on the white nozzle all of the way (there are just these three pieces), making a mess and wasting the product. I ran into this too but found an easy solution with my second can: attach the clear straw/tube to the plastic white nozzle (specifically, over the rounded protruberance with a small hole in its end, which is opposite of the threaded indentation on the nozzle where you will screw the nozzle to the can) before you attach the nozzle to the can.With the straw safely and securely in place, it’s just as easy to screw the nozzle onto the can as if the straw were not attached. And now you don’t have to worry about the insulation spraying out as you put pressure on the straw to get it firmly onto the protruberance (sorry I can’t think of a better word even though I’m sure there are many).Part Two: FOR SEWISTS ONLY: HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT TO MAKE A DRESS FORMI used this product for unconventional purposes. I covered myself in (1) body oil, (2) newspaper, and (3) masking tape from the waist to the ankle on one side and the waist to the mid-thigh on the other side. Then I cut down the side of the full leg and squirmed out of the “form” I made of my lower body. I used duct tape to tighten up any loose spots, then I sprayed this inside the empty form.It does expand quite a bit. I would guess that it does expand to three times its size but not more. I put a little too much in it and it burst the seams in one part of the leg. I recommend that you seal your seams tightly with duct tape after you apply this insulation product. I also recommend that, contrary to tutorials I’ll recommend below, you do NOT close the ankle or leg so that if the product expands more than you expected, it has somewhere to go other than out through a seam.Bottom line: I have a lower-body “dress form” that I can use to try on pants I am sewing for myself without having to get undressed over and over, or sew in my underwear. You can do the same thing with your upper body.Recommended Tutorials: for the upper body, there is a tutorial on the Threads Magazine site (they have four but only one uses the foam insulation method).For the lower body, see the tutorial on YouTube, “How to Make a Dress Form for Pants” by noelnova. Highly recommended. But I also recommend you get some duct tape because the masking tape listed in the tutorial just isn’t strong enough for some high-stress places, especially if you are doing it yourself and have to move around while the tape is on you.I needed four cans to make my pants form.

This foam cures quickly and becomes a strong watertight seal. It comes with two straws for multiple uses.

I have used a lot of different expanding foam products over the years, to fill void and seal around entries into my home and honestly this product is about the same as all the others I have used. I bought it, as it was advertised and the can boldly proclaims it is re-useable. I hate buying a can, using it once and throwing the rest of the can away, as the application tube is plugged up. The instructions clarify the reusable term, saying the dispenser can be re-used up to 3 weeks. I followed the directions to kink the "straw" and put the end of the little nub on the top, to seal the end of the straw and then went to use it again after less then a week and the straw was plugged up solid and cold no be used... so much for re-useable.Good Product, if you don't plan to go back and re-use it a week or less later...

I purchased this Foam about 2 weeks ago and wanted to use it before reviewing it.I applied it to the area around a Medicine Cabinet (1.5-2.0 inch space around cabinet and also to a few window frame bottoms (exterior windows).I live in an old home.One thing is for sure...getting use to the pressure when pulling the "Trigger".Start with not to much and increase as you go...it is common sense.I really blasted it around the Cabinet and sanded it the next day.To cut down on the sanding that would have taken time I used a serraided knife and cut the now hard Foam about a quarter a inch,or less,from the top,bottom and sides.I used wooden block wrapped with sandpaper (level sanding) and the results were just what I wanted... A Perfect,non-noticeable (after painting) space that use to be almost 2 inches around this Medicine Cabinet! Its no appears that there was NO SPACE AT ALL!This was the 1st time that I have used any Expanding Foam and I intend on getting more.I worked for years before retiring and the 1st thing to remember is SAFETY (Read the Directions)Please Note - One should never go completely on anothers'Review.It is like a Movie Critic Reviewing a movie,if He says it is a bad movie,do I not go and see it...NO!I use My Own Judgement and You should do the same.

I'd never heard of the stuff, but we bought a new townhouse, and the previous owners had attached an ironing board to the door of the master bathroom. I guess people do that... Anyway, when I took it down, I realized why they left it up. There were four holes in the door where the ironing board was mounted. I wish I had taken before and after pics, but I honestly didn't think I'd be leaving a review for the stuff. I followed the instructions. I fill the hole, shaved off the excess with an exacto knife, patched it with putty, sanded and painted. Bada bing, bada boom. The door looks like new... or at least like a freshly painted door that never had four holed gouged out of it.

It did indeed fill a long gap well. But it is very difficult to push or move the foam to go deeper into a crack.WARNING!!!The instructions tell you to wear gloves. I did that, but you must be EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO GET ANY of the foam on your skin, hair, clothing or any surface. ONCE THE FOAM DRIES AND HARDENS, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE. My left Nitrile glove developed a tear, and some foam got into my hand and fingers. I inadvertently touched my hair with a bit of foam. Once dry, the only way to get it our of your hair is to cut off bit of your hair wherever the gunk touched you.Don't try to remove it with acetone or any other chemical. I've had a couple yellow fingernails for 2 weeks now.
