See that's why I'm using bamboo. I have gotten in it my hair and I had to cut it out.

Okay... DO NOT DO THE FOLLOWING!!!!
:shock:
I managed to jam a ball into the bottom end of 8' length of PVC pipe, right up tight against the female fitting that I had glued on to it! I then drilled a 1/4" hole in it and pushed a thick straw through it that allowed a long piece of rubber tube to go through and reach the other end of the eight foot tube. I placed another ball in that end and drilled a 1/16 hole through it... I then pressure fit and glued a male fitting on that end, making a firm solid seal at both ends.
THEN the problem began.... I filled the whole tube with expandable foam.... and well it expanded....the seals held, but I ended up with expandable foam spraying out both ends like you would not believe... it was like one on those cans of 'Silly string'.... I now have dried, smeared clumps of foam everywhere in my garage and driveway... un-freakin' believable!!!
It went everywhere and then some..... And to add insult to injury.... the piece of rubber hose I used that was still attached to the can... well it kept expanding too.... if there is a place that this crap should not be, well it is now!!!
okay, back to the drawing board!!!!
p.s. have you ever tried to get expanded foam out of your hair?!?!?!:think:
Rule #1 - think out ALL of what may happen...
:lol: If it had happened to someone else I'd be rolling on the floor.... "it is everywhere... I had to drag the stupid thing out of the garage, praying that it didn't spray my fishing gear or luresray:

fish_4_all said:Well the best advice is to put a lot less in. I didn't have the problem but I used a much larger piece and wider piece when I did it. I would think that maybe a 2-3 second squirt is gonna be plenty to fill an 8 foot section. I bet it only took 4-5 seconds to fill the big tube I did.
Live and learn, can't laugh because I have had the stuff coming out the walls in places I didn't know need sealing but I didn't get it on myself or anything but the wall.
