Hi, I once saw a link to a foam solution in a can, kind of like Great Stuff but it wasn't Great Stuff. For one it had a longer nozzle. I have to apply insulation where a Great Stuff nozzle just won't reach. Can someone tell me what I'm thinking about (and where to get)? Many thanks in advance, Aaron

I've seen a couple other brands of expanding foam. Though, I'm not sure any of them still exist. Can you make the tube longer, and do it that way? Whatcha building? -- Christopher A.

Standard or low expansion.
Friend of mine foamed in around his storm door. The foam pushed the door frame in (aluminum) and now the door won't close. How about just stuff in some fiberglass around your skylight? -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .

Great Stuff aint it.

Great Stuff > aint it. Great stuff in the RED can may expand too much if you use too much. Use your head. The Great Stuff in the BLUE can has a lower expansion rate. Try that. Leave room in front and rear of your bead for expansion, don't fill the cavity completely otherwise it can only expand and push your frame out. You might also put a brace across your frame to prevent it from being warped.
