How can I make sure to get good expansion when working with the foam?
The two things that are most important to achieving good foam expansion are as follows. 1. Temperature. If working below 80 degrees F you will notice a slight reduction in expansion. If trying to work in 40 to 50 degree weather you will be lucky to get half the ideal expansion. Try to work in a heated area, the liquids are not considered flammable so you can use a heater nearby. Also be sure to warm up the product before use to at least 80 degrees, either by storing in a heated room or by submerging the containers in a bucket or warm water. If you’re already working in warm conditions these temperature precautions are probably unnecessary. 2. Mixing Quality. The two liquid components should always be stirred together for at least 25 seconds as vigorously as possible before pouring. If working with more than 1 gallon at a time a high speed drill mixer would be a good idea. If you try to mix 2 gallons of liquid together with just a stir stick you will not get a good enough mix resulting
