Day 21:
Not much was done last week as I was out of town for 4 days and had to wait for my pour foam to come in. Well I got it today and started working. I taped all holes shut so foam wouldnt come out where I didnt want it, and I also covered the door latch with some foil, so the foam wouldnt go inside the spring and latch.
The stuff I got is called Mondur MR Light, and its made by a company called Bayer Material Sciences. I was told to just mix it in an approximately 50/50 mixture and pour. It should begin to expand within a minute. I did a little bit in a test area and it did as advertised, so I got mixing and pouring, and holy cow does this stuff expand.
Within minutes I had what looked like a cross between the Stay Puft Marshmallow man and a pancake batter experiment gone wrong! As you can see in the next two pictures I made a mess. I knew I was going to have to do some shaping and cutting with a razor, but I am going to need to do a lot!
For those of you who have experience with pour foam, you're probably laughing at me, but thats okay. Its events like this that make projects like mine all the more interesting when its done.
So heres the two pictures today. I'll give it all a couple days to completely harden before I begin the cutting, and once thats done, I can start painting!!
