Foam beak and why you want one - Richard - 02-03-2021

For a number of years I have tried a dozen different techniques for reapplying the foam that is inside the wheel wells, and on the bottom of bay floors. Nothing I tried was efficient, worked with a flip, and didn’t result in most of the foam sticking to me. Until I stumbled in this little device. 

The way I used it was that I inserted about 10 inches of tubing between the foam can nozzle and the beak. That way you can hold the can completely inverted, and maneuver the beak with ease. The way to use the beak is to hold it flat against the overhead or vertical surface and move it along at a moderated rated while holding straw in the triggered position. The foam will stick to the surface and then expand to about 1.5 inches thick. One can of the standard Lowe’s/HD foam will cover about 2 square ft. 

You won’t really appreciate this gadget until you have tried to apply foam from a can onto a overhead surface.

Great idea, Richard. I got one of these a couple years ago. A bit more $ but you can use a partial can of foam and save the remaining for a later project.
