The Smart Dispenser™ from the Great Stuff™ brand is a game-changing, industry best dispenser for one component can sealants.
Can Great Stuff™ products be used outdoors?
How do I get Great Stuff™ foam off of my skin? more
Addressing all of the pain points of standard straw dispensers, the Smart Dispenser™ uses integrated mechanical parts to improve the user experience with Great Stuff Insulating Foam Sealants:
If the foam has not cured or hardened, use fingernail polish remover (with acetone); a polyglycol-based skin cleanser or corn oil may be effective. Then wash with soap and plenty of water. If the foam has hardened, there is no solvent that will remove it. It will not harm your skin and will wear off over time. To remove cured foam from skin, use a pumice stone (available at most drug stores) and warm, soapy water. Then apply petroleum jelly. here
Great Stuff™ is the brand name for a line of one-component insulating foam sealants that can help make your home more comfortable and energy efficient by sealing the gaps and cracks where air conditioned and heated air escape. Great Stuff Pro™ Polyurethane Foam Sealants can be used for both small and large air sealing and retrofit applications by DIY’s or professionals. Great Stuff™ comes in cans with a straw applicator or the new patented Smart Dispenser™. Cans are in 12, 16, and 20 oz sizes. Great Stuff Pro™ series is available in larger cans (20,24, & 30 oz sizes) and use the dispensing guns to apply.
We can treat the 420 foot linear bead mentioned as a 420 foot tall half inch diameter column. According to the formula for volume of a column, it would be pi * radius squared * height, or 3.1415 * 0.25 * 5040 (in inches). That's 3958 cubic inches. One cubic foot is 1728 cubic inches, or 2.3 cubic feet. [links]
"How much foam is in a can of GREAT STUFF?? The theoretical yield of a can of GREAT STUFF? is measured in lineal feet of a 3/8?? 1/2? diameter bead. One 12 oz. can of GREAT STUFF? has about 250 lineal feet. One 16 oz. can has about 335 feet. One 20 oz. can has about 420 feet. One 6 oz. can yields approximately 120 feet." [links]
To go even cheaper, collect any foam, plastic bottles, anything foam or sealed that will hold air and not crush easily once sealed. Fill the compartment and fill around it with pourable. The pourable polyurethane foam will stick to just about anything and it's compatible with just about any material.

Once I saw this beautiful picture from Paul Bell's restoration it would be hard for me to want to mess with any of that expanding foam. Pink (or blue) foam board all the way! http://picasaweb.google.com/pacerdude/EntireDeckReplacement89Celebrity224se#5305852018165355202 more
