LOVELY job I forgot the gloves and its all over my hands after acetone and all kinds of scrubbing. I don't know what I was thinking. I found doing the space between the wall and my floor gap VERY messy, it was hard to aim correctly and not get it all over. Sure it's me, I didn't expect it to come bulging out and started to smooth it flat. You did great. I will go back and touch up with your advice forefront!!! Thanx so much!
Great video and he explains things easily.
Thank you! We needed some info and I am someone who likes to be shown. Usually the print on products is very small. My husband and I are in our 70’s . Again thank you!
I hear ya. I don’t even try reading the can directly. Just take a picture with your phone and expand it.
These products are good for filling small gaps in flooring area underneath trailer homes to keep critters from entering the house
I absolutely love this stuff it's fun too use and it works great for installation instead of the itchy stuff.
Thank you for the excellent demonstration!
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊
Thanks for the video, I've been using that stuff but could never get all of it out of the can.
Very helpful video! Thank you!
Thanks. I’m glad this brand is re usable .
You really have to do everything right in order for it to be re -usable So messy imo.
Looks great thanks for the informative video
Thank you so much
exactly what i needed in a video thank you.
Thanks for the help man!
This was a great tutorial! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!🙏🏽😊
Great Stuff with a great review... Thx
Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
Can I use this upside down, under vinyl siding, great video.
Thanks for this!
Thank you 🙏🏽 for watching!
Is there an odor at all? So glad I found this product. My apartment has major gaps my landlord just ignores
Hi! Thank you for watching. As I was using it there is a light odor but not too bad, it goes away after a few minutes. 👍🏽😊
Same here. They do nothing.
Great video. Do you know if this spray foam can be used to fill in expansion joints where the exterior siding meets concrete sidewalks?
Nice educational vid..
M
Very helpful!
Thank you 🙏🏽
to avoid removing exterior decorative door casing, can this be used to repair rotted brick mold behind the door casing?
Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊
Dang, I never knew about bending the straw over onto the stopper! I've probably wasted a few cans by not knowing that!
I like to make fake stones of the leftover foam just cover it with concrete mix after it dries . Light weight fake rock for garden.
Also, a lot of folks throw out the unused portion- but acetone (nail polish remover) will clear out the applicator and make it useful for multiple uses.
@@anandi483 wow so cool.
@@barbeejoll7139yeah I'm definitely people I got so tired of wasting it that I went and bought the pro series and then the applicator gun along with the nozzle cleaning chemical because I have so many small projects but I never get all of them done on days off so I would waste so much of that crap between the nozzle bending I didn't know and the acetone I didn't think about I've definitely spent a lot of money on this stuff lol😂
Same here
Thanks
Thanks buddy! I always over spray
Thank You
Yes definitely read the can! It says to use when the temperature is between 60 and 90. It's only a high if 56 today so I am waiting.
It would be great if the instructions were printed in a normal sized reading font as many users probably can’t see/read the direction printed on the can.
@@scrapin17 They could if it didn't have to squeeze in the spanish crap.
Thank you.
You are very welcome! 🙏🏽👍🏽
thanks
Can you use a spray dispensing gun on the black one. Specifcallyl that can and that brand? I heard you cant cuz it didnt have to top to twist on the gun.
thanks for video.. I plan to use pestblocker one to fill in the gap between garage hole in the corner. It may not be good idea against rotten but it may be good against insect.. any experience ?
Me too! Going to used this seal up a gap to keep spiders out and any others critters...But especially spiders!
How long shoukd I wait to caulk over it after application?
I am toying between using this or a foam rod for a big gap between my bathtub and the surround.
Can the product use under siding and concrete.
Really helpful video! I appreciate it. The edit was nice, background music wasn’t too distracting, and you explained it all very well. Your channel deserves more views.
Thank you so much! Means a lot! 🙏🏽😊😭
I had my shower repaired and the wall was lathe board and plaster it was replaced with moisture resistant drywall. There is a gap between the window trim and the drywall max 3/4 inch, is there a specific spray foam I need to use?
Hehehe, Truly, this is a most beautiful Great Stuff presentation:) Thank you;0)
A bit gun-shy, I recall my shock as I watched the framing of the garage expand where it shouldn't have been able to, hehehe. I appreciated so much, the gentle bead you layed, and your ProTips surprised. Niiice.
The nozzle on this can is more like a big pen/ not flexible at all.. But oh, the relief, when in another vid you mentioned that the product would be alright after opening, 30 days.
I heard you say that, and an actual weight flew off my back. Yup;0) xo
Do they make a white foam?
I had someone install a front door and he used some type of spray foam similar to yours but a different brand. I can hear wind noises from outside and it looks like theres the odd area that does not look filled in. Can I buy a can of window and door foam and fill the odd gap that I see or will it warp the jamb?. Thanks
As long as you give it room to expand outward you should be good...if you fill it then cover it with no escape it can damage your jam
Do you trim the excess before or after 8 hours?
great video
Thank you 🙏🏽!
The product I have looks like tip of the straw assembly is blocked. I assume but I don't know - do I use a pin to break that tip open?
4:24 How does being yellow (or gray) improve its ability to block insects?
Omg, thank you for this video I’m trying to keep ants 🐜 from getting in through my windows.
I’m glad I could be of help! This will help greatly! 🙏🏽👍🏽😊
Is thia good to use if you have mice ?
I was going to use one of these products to fill a gap on the bottom of the wall behind the baseboard and on the instructions said not to use in closed cavities or voids, so what does it mean that?
Can you use to fill a gap behind concrete stairs?
Yes you can to Insulate and to percent pest from coming in, but should not be used for integral purposes
Can you paint over it once it’s dried?
Yes but I would try to use a joint compound to make it smoother surface after you level it and scrape it flush with your wall.
What do you recommend if the gap is very thin, few millimeters
I would use caulk, the stretch caulk is what I use, here is the link : amzn.to/3cQj1Eo
This product expands the same.You have little control over the amount you spray.If you are using a lot,buy the pro gun and refill can
Hi, I need to fill a round deep hole in my wall, I’m sure spiders are getting through it and I need it closed… can you guide me to which foam in this video would be best please?
Hi! Please email me a picture of the hole. Fixthishouse1@yahoo.com
There is something you are not telling us. What makes the form come out? Mine is not coming out?
Hi , what can I use to fill gaps around my furnace unit ? Worried about it getting too warm and catching fire but I need to fill them because I have tons of earwigs coming through. PLEASE HELP
Asbestos works well I hear...
Expanding foam, once cured and not used near flame should be just fine. They Also make one specifically fire resistant called pyro something.
Is t h ere a product for gaps in driveway up again garages
Try to hold your spray can upside-down , my amigo.
👍🏽
Can I use it to trap the heat out my attic
Yes sir, it acts as an insulator.
Question
Is that open or close cell foam?
Manufacturer claims it's closed cell, but the pro specs are available and show the crack and gap filler is 80% closed cell, while the window/door is mostly open cell. No data available on big gap filler...
I have a can, but it doesn’t have the straw anymore. Can it still be used? Can feels heavy
It’s very possible, all you need to do is push the nozzle down sideways and it should still spray out. Be careful it will get messy without the nozzle wear gloves
I believe u can get the straws at wall mart my prob is how to u get it to come out when u use once it forms a hard crust where you put straw in how can we get this not to happen
Do mice eat through it?
Is there one for small gaps that dries gray? Hate when that yellowish shit shows!
🙏🏼👍🏼
Can I use it for leaks
NO
No, just for insulating purposes 🙏🏽👍🏽
Yes you can. Air leaks that is
Hi can this be used for sound proofing?
I would not want to be breathing it in any more than necessary. I'm sure like most things it after gasses for a long time especially on hot days.
Can I get this to buy in Jamaica
Please tell me where Thanks
Can rats bite off??
The "fill gaps" means the foam "bead".
Anything other than the Big Gap filler is insanely slow to dispense.
It won't spray at all...how do you open it
It should be ready to go after you tighten the provided nozzle. Just pull the nozzle trigger. You might have gotten a defective can. 🙏🏽
@@FixThisHouse It was a defective can. Thank you for replying.
I have purchased 3 cans none work, wonder what I am I doing wrong 😑
You will have to shake it up really well. When you install the nozzle don’t over tighten 🙏🏽
The bottle should be upside down not right side up when spraying
Damn it. I've been holding the can upside down.
Hahahaha - around the windows ? I hope you’re not at a customers house ! When that foam expands, t it will pinch the casing and you’ll be using a pry bar to get that window open. DO NOT spray foam windows. Pull off some insulation of a bat and tuck it in with a shingle.
Well it depends. Using high expansion will and depends how much.
Smart you are!
I broke the nozzle😭😭😭😭
Dang
This “stuff” can cause seizures
No way
How
This video is WRONG. Do not use any great stuff around Windows or doors except for the BLUE can THATS SPECIFICALLY FOR WINDOWS AND DOORS. Because the others will expand with pressure and deform your windows!! Also he used the can UPSIDE DOWN.
I accidentally twisted the nozzle too tight and broke it off.
Me too.......
2:15 slowly squeeze it and fill in the gaps... ....ooohhhhhhhhh...
