spray foam insulation?

bigdave4269 Sep 26, 2005 07:54 AM

has anyone heard about using this in your dart tank. i know its toxic when you first spray it but when it dries its not. I wanted to use this in a 75g tank to make waterfalls and cliffs out of it. it would be cool to use because after it dries you can carve it out for tunnels ect.
i think this may have been done before and had to be coated with silicone. what do you think?

BlackJungle has a "how to" that uses this method. Here's the link to the page

there is a step by step setup on the black jungle website. i have personally used it to do 3 tanks and except for minor shrinking it forms great and is generally easy to work with. wear rubber gloves because that stuff is EXTREMELY sticky.

hope it helps

I second on the sticky part. its damn near impossible to get off your hands. my friend i got got it on our hands a wee bit ago, before we got industreal strengths aceton to remove it, it made touching papers like chineese water tourture. evil stuff, but it sure looks nice ^_^
