So how much do you reckon this runs per can?

Also how much is that Handi-Foam at the hardware store?

hey, if you guys try this, let me know how it works out. the black pond foam i got from dr's foster and smith worked great, never had any problems w/ it UNDER WATER.

above water it deteriorated when exposed to sunlight, I can only imagine what my halides wouldhave done to it.

Do you think this stuff would deteriorate over time under water with a tank lit by metal halides?


From the website it looks like Wal Mart is a dealer. Will drop by after work and see how much this stuff runs ;)

"Touch 'n Foam Exterior Filler-Adhesive is a black colored foam formulated to retain its dispensed color and blend naturally into the surrounding landscape, even when exposed to direct sunlight. "

From what it says it should be ok.
