Review on πŸ“ Inch-based Foambeak Insulation for Vertical Expansion by John Bennett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Needed to insulate a freestanding acrylic tub, but there is a trick

Foambeak is great for attaching foam insulation to flat surfaces. Without them, it would be impossible to cover a flat surface, such as a B. the bottom of a bathtub. As you can see in the picture, the foam spreads out in nice streaks 3-4 inches wide if you know how. Cracked? The surface you insulate should be parallel to the ground. If you try to spread on the side of the tub that isn't parallel to the floor, the foam will just drip off by gravity. He doesn't sag at all. Therefore, you must level the tub so that the surface to be sprayed is flat in relation to the floor and treat one surface at a time. Then it works great. You will see in the picture that the tub is on the right hand side and I just used Foambeak to spray on the left inner surface which is parallel to the floor. Allow to dry for at least 3-4 hours and then re-level the tub for the next surface. For the corner ends of the tub, I propped one end of the tub up on a ladder. I used an old pillow to protect the tub. Be sure to cover up anywhere you work with plastic, as foam insulation cannot be removed from surfaces like wood without damaging it. Also wear latex gloves, you don't need foam on your hands. Can only be removed with nail polish remover, do not use soap or water as these will harden. If you're making a large area, like a bathtub, buy a pack of Foambeak 12. I had 2 foambeaks with cracks that I couldn't use, but since I had 12 it didn't matter.
