Stuff is amazing! But a bit of a learning curve. Learn from MY mistakes!
TLDR: This stuff is great and 100% accomplished what I needed in what I think was a somewhat challenging use case. However, there was a bit of a learning curve for applying it properly. – The Project: Creating a vent for portable AC exhaust hose in a disgusting and ancient basement window. – The Process: First I removed the old and already completely shattered glass window from the window frame. I tried to chip out all of the old mortar or whatever it was that held the old glass window into the frame but some of the bits were impossible to remove. I knew I wanted to remove as much of that as possible so that the new panel that I put in place would sit flush and make for a better seal. This proved extremely difficult but I was eventually able to get the panel to fit into the metal framing fairly well. Once the vent panel was in place I started with the foam. There was a learning curve. I started from the outside of the house. Applying the foam into the gap at the bottom went perfectly fine. Then things got ugly. When I first tried to seal along the right side, going up and down vertically, the foam just sort of rolled off the front of the vent panel. It made a mess and was turning what had been a surprisingly tidy and semi-professional looking result into a huge mess. And more importantly, the seal was clearly not made. There was no insulation along the right side and the panel was in no way attached to the frame with any adhesive along that side. It was still secured fairly well from the physical fitment but it wasn't glued at all. This was a major problem and I thought my project was going off the rails. I removed the excess foam that had slid down the side of the panel with my hands (more on that later) to clear it off and give me a second chance. Next I went across the top horizontally with better results, similar to what happened along the bottom, but I still had not gotten the hang of using this foam. I went along the left side vertically and again had it sliding around and had to remove with my hands. I tried again and the foam sort of went into place and did what I wanted it to do but I still didn't understand why or what I had done differently to get the right seal and behavior of the foam. At this point, I decided to start sealing from the inside. But I knew I needed to move fast because I wanted to be able to sort of push the panel into place pushing it outward from inside the house to make for a better seal and fit. But I knew I wouldn't be able to do that if the foam had dried. However, my hands were now completely useless as they were covered with this stuff. After about a 5 minute diversion to the slop sink I had removed enough of the stuff to get my hands back to a functional state. I went to sealing the window from the inside and here is where I finally learned how to use this stuff correctly. I had a gap of about an 3/4" between the edge of the vent panel and the styrofoam backing. So naturally, when I started applying the foam sealer on the inside I was spraying the foam into that gap. And this provided an amazing realization. – Using this product properly: Apply minimal force on the trigger. You don't need to blast this stuff out at a high rate. Spray the foam into a gap (duh!) and the foam will expand to fill the gap (again duh!). As long as you are spraying it slowly into a gap it will expand to fill the area and create adhesion on all sides which will prevent it from being pulled down by gravity or just sort of glooping up on the surface. Just based on the description and purpose of this product and my intended goal with using it, I feel kind of dumb that I didn't do this right from the start. – The Process, continued: With this new understanding of how to apply this foam I completed the inside and went back outside. I carefully position the straw so as to make sure the foam would be quite literally injected into a gap. The foam expanded to fill the gap and didn't gloop up or slide downward. You can't just spray it on the surface…you have to stick the straw into the gap and inject foam into the gap. – Conclusion: End result was probably about as good as I possibly could have hoped for given my complete lack of experience with doing anything like this. I made a mess of my hands but after only about 5-10 mins of washing my hands with regular dish soap I had removed 75% of the adhesive from my hands. About a half day later 95% of is gone. So yes, be careful with handling it, and yes I should have worn gloves. But it's not THAT bad if you get it all over your hands. Your best bet with this stuff is going to be to press VERY lightly on the trigger when applying it. This will keep things neater and avoid the disasters I've seen in the customer images here. This product is great and I think completely lives up to what it says it does. There is a learning curve though but once you get the hang of it your result can be both functional and neat and tidy.

This is an update to the previous review I wrote about Locktite for small cracks:
MAKE SURE THE NOZZLE DOUBLE CLICKS ONTO THE RELEASE VALVE.
I used a second can of this a week later that arrived that was ordered separately.
The mistake MIGHT have been mine. The can I used the first time MIGHT have been defective.
I'm pretty sure I heard the nozzle click into place as it says to do in the instructions on the can.
I'm pretty sure I looked and it appeared to be seated okay, but I extend the benefit of the doubt to the company for the margin of error.
Second can of this I made EXTRA sure the nozzle was properly seated and that both clips were securely in place.
Pretty much no mess whatsover and the Locktite for large cracks as it turns out as opposed to this review for Locktite for small cracks, I'm certain, the story is the same.
So I raised the original review from 4 to 5 stars. This stuff works GREAT. I will write a review for the other (Locktite for large cracks) and include a picture later.
The original review is below in its entitety:
I am not going to say a lot right now in case my review gets eaten by my android (again) and all time is wasted. If the photo and video uploads I will try to update.
Here's the addendum: Absolutely,positively use work gloves and be advised you will be replacing them with another pair.
This stuff is ridiculous to work with. (Ridiculous bad. No good, yuck, bad.)
I held the can upside down to dispense it as it shows on the instructions on the can.
Pro: they put a lot in the can. Con: No way you get to use it all for the stuff oozing out all over the place on you: still the usable amount is a good value for the money.
Con: it makes an ungodly mess at the valve. Do not wear clothing you value when working with this.
Pro: have a used stiff paint brush or scraper nearby as you work so you can smooth over the mess it makes as it makes a nasty mess of the can and whatever glove you're using to protect your hands from getting this highly unmanageable goop all over. (Zoom on the photos. That glove? It's stuck to the can and remaining contents that won't come out as it oozes out during application.) It's messy. I cannot emphasize that enough.
Pro: I believe I just salvaged part of a wall surrounding my back yard that was built in 1978. I used it in the cracks.
I will be buying more despite the mess because this is a very useful product. I rated it only four stars for the near enormous mess it will make.
For usefulness: 5 stars plus: but for application 10 rotten tomatoes and not a single star. Okay, maybe 1 or 2 on a good day.
Order a pair of inexpensive work gloves to use with this as it is highly likely you will be throwing them away along with the unused portion of the product that is going to seal up around the nozzle as you work.

Works and fills well. But be careful how much you use as it really expands! I know…that's what it's supposed to do. Just surprised me how much! Had to to a little trimming after, which was easy enough. Just wish they had some other color options.
This foam is noticeably denser than the typical “Great Stuff” brand and it comes out of the can a bit differently than you might be used to. Once you get the hang of it, though, it expands and sticks extremely well and fills gaps with a solid, tight seal.
I’ve been impressed with how well it holds up to UV exposure and outdoor weather compared to other foams I’ve used. If you need a strong, durable expanding foam for outside applications, this is a great choice.
We had an issue with our electric meter box coming loose and found out because the electric company left a repair needed note. I called several electricians to come out and fix it and they wanted $800 plus! My husband purchased this phone to put behind the meter box as I have pulled away from the house and it worked beautifully! After the foam dried he leveled the phone down to be the same height as the house and then framed the meter box. Needless to say we saved $800 and this stuff works like a charm! I've used products like this before in the longevity and where is substantial. Phone dries quickly so we didn't have to wait all day to finish the repair and the longevity of this item is yet to be seen but as with most foam adhesive sprays I'm sure this will last a very long time! I will definitely purchase this again!
If you take care of your hands like my husband did after reading comments, it does a good job! Becomes real hard when it dries. It wont let the wind or bugs come inside!

Stuff is amazing! But a bit of a learning curve. Learn from MY mistakes!
TLDR: This stuff is great and 100% accomplished what I needed in what I think was a somewhat challenging use case. However, there was a bit of a learning curve for applying it properly.- The Project: Creating a vent for portable AC exhaust hose in a disgusting and ancient basement window.- The Process: First I removed the old and already completely shattered glass window from the window frame. I tried to chip out all of the old mortar or whatever it was that held the old glass window into the frame but some of the bits were impossible to remove. I knew I wanted to remove as much of that as possible so that the new panel that I put in place would sit flush and make for a better seal. This proved extremely difficult but I was eventually able to get the panel to fit into the metal framing fairly well.Once the vent panel was in place I started with the foam. There was a learning curve.I started from the outside of the house. Applying the foam into the gap at the bottom went perfectly fine. Then things got ugly. When I first tried to seal along the right side, going up and down vertically, the foam just sort of rolled off the front of the vent panel. It made a mess and was turning what had been a surprisingly tidy and semi-professional looking result into a huge mess. And more importantly, the seal was clearly not made. There was no insulation along the right side and the panel was in no way attached to the frame with any adhesive along that side. It was still secured fairly well from the physical fitment but it wasn’t glued at all. This was a major problem and I thought my project was going off the rails.I removed the excess foam that had slid down the side of the panel with my hands (more on that later) to clear it off and give me a second chance. Next I went across the top horizontally with better results, similar to what happened along the bottom, but I still had not gotten the hang of using this foam. I went along the left side vertically and again had it sliding around and had to remove with my hands. I tried again and the foam sort of went into place and did what I wanted it to do but I still didn’t understand why or what I had done differently to get the right seal and behavior of the foam.At this point, I decided to start sealing from the inside. But I knew I needed to move fast because I wanted to be able to sort of push the panel into place pushing it outward from inside the house to make for a better seal and fit. But I knew I wouldn’t be able to do that if the foam had dried. However, my hands were now completely useless as they were covered with this stuff. After about a 5 minute diversion to the slop sink I had removed enough of the stuff to get my hands back to a functional state.I went to sealing the window from the inside and here is where I finally learned how to use this stuff correctly. I had a gap of about an 3/4″ between the edge of the vent panel and the styrofoam backing. So naturally, when I started applying the foam sealer on the inside I was spraying the foam into that gap.

I carefully position the straw so as to make sure the foam would be quite literally injected into a gap. The foam expanded to fill the gap and didn’t gloop up or slide downward. You can’t just spray it on the surface…you have to stick the straw into the gap and inject foam into the gap.- Conclusion: End result was probably about as good as I possibly could have hoped for given my complete lack of experience with doing anything like this. I made a mess of my hands but after only about 5-10 mins of washing my hands with regular dish soap I had removed 75% of the adhesive from my hands. About a half day later 95% of is gone. So yes, be careful with handling it, and yes I should have worn gloves. But it’s not THAT bad if you get it all over your hands. Your best bet with this stuff is going to be to press VERY lightly on the trigger when applying it.

Does the job, its can be a bit messy
Can take a bit of effort to adhere to flat walls but if done right can seal.

Dense, Sticky, and Built to Last Outdoors
This foam is noticeably denser than the typical âGreat Stuffâ brand and it comes out of the can a bit differently than you might be used to. Once you get the hang of it, though, it expands and sticks extremely well and fills gaps with a solid, tight seal.Iâve been impressed with how well it holds up to UV exposure and outdoor weather compared to other foams Iâve used. If you need a strong, durable expanding foam for outside applications, this is a great choice.

Works well and secured our meter box to the house!
We had an issue with our electric meter box coming loose and found out because the electric company left a repair needed note. I called several electricians to come out and fix it and they wanted $800 plus! My husband purchased this phone to put behind the meter box as I have pulled away from the house and it worked beautifully! After the foam dried he leveled the phone down to be the same height as the house and then framed the meter box. Needless to say we saved $800 and this stuff works like a charm! I’ve used products like this before in the longevity and where is substantial. Phone dries quickly so we didn’t have to wait all day to finish the repair and the longevity of this item is yet to be seen but as with most foam adhesive sprays I’m sure this will last a very long time! I will definitely purchase this again!

If you take care of your hands like my husband did after reading comments, it does a good job! Becomes real hard when it dries. It wont let the wind or bugs come inside!

Stuff is amazing! But a bit of a learning curve. Learn from MY mistakes!
TLDR: This stuff is great and 100% accomplished what I needed in what I think was a somewhat challenging use case. However, there was a bit of a learning curve for applying it properly.- The Project: Creating a vent for portable AC exhaust hose in a disgusting and ancient basement window.- The Process: First I removed the old and already completely shattered glass window from the window frame. I tried to chip out all of the old mortar or whatever it was that held the old glass window into the frame but some of the bits were impossible to remove. I knew I wanted to remove as much of that as possible so that the new panel that I put in place would sit flush and make for a better seal. This proved extremely difficult but I was eventually able to get the panel to fit into the metal framing fairly well.Once the vent panel was in place I started with the foam. There was a learning curve.I started from the outside of the house. Applying the foam into the gap at the bottom went perfectly fine. Then things got ugly. When I first tried to seal along the right side, going up and down vertically, the foam just sort of rolled off the front of the vent panel. It made a mess and was turning what had been a surprisingly tidy and semi-professional looking result into a huge mess. And more importantly, the seal was clearly not made. There was no insulation along the right side and the panel was in no way attached to the frame with any adhesive along that side. It was still secured fairly well from the physical fitment but it wasn’t glued at all. This was a major problem and I thought my project was going off the rails.I removed the excess foam that had slid down the side of the panel with my hands (more on that later) to clear it off and give me a second chance. Next I went across the top horizontally with better results, similar to what happened along the bottom, but I still had not gotten the hang of using this foam. I went along the left side vertically and again had it sliding around and had to remove with my hands. I tried again and the foam sort of went into place and did what I wanted it to do but I still didn’t understand why or what I had done differently to get the right seal and behavior of the foam.At this point, I decided to start sealing from the inside. But I knew I needed to move fast because I wanted to be able to sort of push the panel into place pushing it outward from inside the house to make for a better seal and fit. But I knew I wouldn’t be able to do that if the foam had dried. However, my hands were now completely useless as they were covered with this stuff. After about a 5 minute diversion to the slop sink I had removed enough of the stuff to get my hands back to a functional state.I went to sealing the window from the inside and here is where I finally learned how to use this stuff correctly. I had a gap of about an 3/4″ between the edge of the vent panel and the styrofoam backing. So naturally, when I started applying the foam sealer on the inside I was spraying the foam into that gap. And this provided an amazing realization.- Using this product properly: Apply minimal force on the trigger. You don’t need to blast this stuff out at a high rate. Spray the foam into a gap (duh!) and the foam will expand to fill the gap (again duh!). As long as you are spraying it slowly into a gap it will expand to fill the area and create adhesion on all sides which will prevent it from being pulled down by gravity or just sort of glooping up on the surface. Just based on the description and purpose of this product and my intended goal with using it, I feel kind of dumb that I didn’t do this right from the start.- The Process, continued: With this new understanding of how to apply this foam I completed the inside and went back outside. I carefully position the straw so as to make sure the foam would be quite literally injected into a gap. The foam expanded to fill the gap and didn’t gloop up or slide downward. You can’t just spray it on the surface…you have to stick the straw into the gap and inject foam into the gap.- Conclusion: End result was probably about as good as I possibly could have hoped for given my complete lack of experience with doing anything like this. I made a mess of my hands but after only about 5-10 mins of washing my hands with regular dish soap I had removed 75% of the adhesive from my hands. About a half day later 95% of is gone. So yes, be careful with handling it, and yes I should have worn gloves. But it’s not THAT bad if you get it all over your hands. Your best bet with this stuff is going to be to press VERY lightly on the trigger when applying it. This will keep things neater and avoid the disasters I’ve seen in the customer images here.This product is great and I think completely lives up to what it says it does. There is a learning curve though but once you get the hang of it your result can be both functional and neat and tidy.

Potentially VERY Messy to work with
This is an update to the previous review I wrote about Locktite for small cracks:MAKE SURE THE NOZZLE DOUBLE CLICKS ONTO THE RELEASE VALVE.I used a second can of this a week later that arrived that was ordered separately.The mistake MIGHT have been mine. The can I used the first time MIGHT have been defective.I’m pretty sure I heard the nozzle click into place as it says to do in the instructions on the can.I’m pretty sure I looked and it appeared to be seated okay, but I extend the benefit of the doubt to the company for the margin of error.Second can of this I made EXTRA sure the nozzle was properly seated and that both clips were securely in place.Pretty much no mess whatsover and the Locktite for large cracks as it turns out as opposed to this review for Locktite for small cracks, I’m certain, the story is the same.So I raised the original review from 4 to 5 stars. This stuff works GREAT. I will write a review for the other (Locktite for large cracks) and include a picture later.The original review is below in its entitety:I am not going to say a lot right now in case my review gets eaten by my android (again) and all time is wasted. If the photo and video uploads I will try to update.Here’s the addendum: Absolutely,positively use work gloves and be advised you will be replacing them with another pair.This stuff is ridiculous to work with. (Ridiculous bad. No good, yuck, bad.)I held the can upside down to dispense it as it shows on the instructions on the can.Pro: they put a lot in the can.Con: No way you get to use it all for the stuff oozing out all over the place on you: still the usable amount is a good value for the money.Con: it makes an ungodly mess at the valve. Do not wear clothing you value when working with this.Pro: have a used stiff paint brush or scraper nearby as you work so you can smooth over the mess it makes as it makes a nasty mess of the can and whatever glove you’re using to protect your hands from getting this highly unmanageable goop all over.(Zoom on the photos. That glove? It’s stuck to the can and remaining contents that won’t come out as it oozes out during application.) It’s messy. I cannot emphasize that enough.Pro: I believe I just salvaged part of a wall surrounding my back yard that was built in 1978. I used it in the cracks.I will be buying more despite the mess because this is a very useful product. I rated it only four stars for the near enormous mess it will make.For usefulness: 5 stars plus: but for application 10 rotten tomatoes and not a single star. Okay, maybe 1 or 2 on a good day.Order a pair of inexpensive work gloves to use with this as it is highly likely you will be throwing them away along with the unused portion of the product that is going to seal up around the nozzle as you work.

Works…almost too well!
Works and fills well. But be careful how much you use as it really expands! I know…that’s what it’s supposed to do. Just surprised me how much! Had to to a little trimming after, which was easy enough. Just wish they had some other color options.
