If we can’t wait for them to bring their polymer to market, I hear Screwfix has some good offers on: http://www.screwfix.com/c/sealants-adhesives/expanding-foam/cat850038
With the MoD’s constant budget cuts, Screwfix will have to do the job. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width=“20” height=“20” />
thats some pretty amazing stuff right there!
Damn that’s good. The number of times I was out in the field and need to fill a gap in the overhead cover to prevent that annoying draught is unbelievable. This would have prevented a lot of needlessly cold cups of coffee.
Anybody wanna bet that a couple of years after this is brought in (and I hope it is coz it looks like a life saver) some squaddie medic gets nicked coz he’s filled his wall cavities with the stuff.

Too much potential to go horribly wrong
This. All I could think was “how does the foam know where to not expand to; where the blood ways are?”
Doesn’t mean much to me, but this might give you some answers: http://www.arsenalmedical.com/sites/default/files/AAST_2012.pdf

Otherwise you could trawl through their site: http://www.arsenalmedical.com/products
This’ll do…
