we were stickin window boards on with gun foam 20 years ago....
not something id use for dabbin boards on though....
specially not onto studwork when ive got some nice handy little screw type things...
theres quite a few different chemical mixes for gun foam, appaently the crack is with this stuff is its low expansion, quick setting... thats it.... other than that its polyeurethane foam... same as we used to stick window boards on with...
give it a shot mate, heres a tip -
if someone ever cuts you up in a open top car in the middle of summer....
grab a tin of foam out the back, give it a bloody good shake (well get your labourer to do it)
catch the git...
(french person) the can with the tip of your stanley...
lob it in the back of his motor....
my mate did years ago.... ;D
Roofer2plasterer said:Used foam for fitting doors n windows and General building Chris but to be honest i have never stuck boards with it. The way i see it is that unless your wall is totally plumb it can'y compete with dabs for banging level!! Seen it in TP's but never seen anyone buy it!!!
Even on site where say the walls were true and flat what site is gonna pay out for that much gear hmmm NONE.steve cov said:Roofer2plasterer said:Used foam for fitting doors n windows and General building Chris but to be honest i have never stuck boards with it.

theres a reason why no one buys it! if you do domestic then the walls are normally quite (german word)e for level so its useless.
How much is it?jord218 said:What it is good for is if you have some board that has come away from the wall or not enough dab has been put on, you can punch a 8mm hole through the board inject some foam and it'll sort out your problem. well it works for me anyway.![]()

You need the gun which are about £15, but I only paid a fiver for mine.jord218 said:What it is good for is if you have some board that has come away from the wall or not enough dab has been put on, you can punch a 8mm hole through the board inject some foam and it'll sort out your problem. well it works for me anyway.![]()

Got to admit I thought this stuff was a load of rubbish but your idea Jord218 sounds a good one.jord218 said:What it is good for is if you have some board that has come away from the wall or not enough dab has been put on, you can punch a 8mm hole through the board inject some foam and it'll sort out your problem. well it works for me anyway.![]()
that looks good wonder how long it would last?spunky said:
jord218 said:up to five boards but the walls have to be plumb or you'll be wasting your dosh, I borded out an office in an industrial unit and it saved me time and money. You can skim the board the same day as you stick um on! NICE ;D
spunky said:have you got a tin mate does it stick to artex ?
How do you mean hammer fixings incase of fire?lucius said:Its great stuff. doing a lot of integral garage conversions lately and it works fine as long as the walls are plumb and cheaper than D&B addy just have to watch it as it some time expands a little also needs some hammer fixings put in in case of fire the bonus is you can skim on it within an hour, well i do anyway.
