Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Spray foam

Put some of that in the nose region of a dudes winter face mask once.

Prick put my jacket where some snow melt would run down a valley on a house we were doing and soaked my jacket. I laid low until I saw him pitch his mask off of the roof one day into the stoop where we all pissed. Took some #69 one of the guys had in his truck and soaked that nose region.

He came in the next morning and was complaining his truck smelled like piss inside. Once he put his mask on he had a hell of a fit. Complained someone pissed on his mask.

Never did tell him what I did.

Installed a bulkhead door against a stone foundation last fall and used spray foam to fill the gaps. The foam worked very well, have to trim it a bit when the weather warms up.

What do you use to cut off the excess?

Danny said the hairspray worked,
the woman said it works on a lot of stuff.


I tried it on Sharpie our daughter used on the new, white, refrigerator🤬🤬!
It took it mostly off. Better than anything else we tried.

Did you try Goo Gone or Goof Off?

Yeah, I tried to catch it with my hands with no way to move out of the way. I was at the very top of a 6ft ladder.

I let it harden up for several days. Then I use a butcher knife to cut off the excess. Then I put 1/2 inch thick mix of mortar and red clay over the foam. The red clay mix is for looks, the chinking is actually the foam, and with Great Stuff on board, it is utterly airtight, plus insulation of R16.

STXhunter, whatever you do , don't get it in your eyes. It is really bad news.

I used wd40, still tuff to get off, but worked better than acetone or lacquer thinner.

I don't want to find out.

That's what she said.

This post is what started my Imgur no-worky thread. Working now (in LA!).

If I go caribou hunting next fall in the usual spot, I'm taking a couple cans of foam and one of grey paint.

Got me a man-cave to stay in overnight, or stash meat in if I get lucky, just over the ridge from a cramped, smelly cave barely big enough for a single person to sleep in, slightly contorted. I used that one overnight several years ago.

This one is mo-better, much roomier - could sleep 2 maybe. It is over-thrust layered sedementary sheet rock - I took some "panels" of same laying around and blocked in the front a bit to stop the wind, and for concealment- an ATV trail passes a few yards down the slope.

I stayed in it last year, and discovered the roof leaks a little bit. Rain gets down between the sheets and dribbles into the cave in several spots. The rock sheets slant outward, and toward the "foot", both. Plugging the leaks between sheets along the outer edge should drain the run-in off the foot end. I think.

Paint is for foam camo. where it shows. We'll see.

Wow, very neat idea. Can you imagine what a cave man from 20000 years ago would have given for a case of that stuff?

I used the spray cans to seal up the deer blinds. Works great because it seals out the mice and insects/bees. I did get some on my fingers and it was a royal PITA getting it off. Took a couple of days to peel it off.
My house was spray foamed and this year I'll get my 40x60x 14' pole barn sprayed as well. It's very energy efficient.

WD40 for me too. You can also clean the spray nozzle with it so you can use a can a second time.

An electric fillet/bread knife easily makes nice straight cuts in all kinds of foam. Spray foam to that stuff they put in hard-side gun/bow cases.


Rubbing Alcohol works great to remove "sharpie", at least it does to remove it from plastic MTM ammo boxes. Put the alcohol on a cotton-ball, Q-tip, or a rag and the Sharpie just melts right off.
