Re: Pouring foam - need advise
2 lbs is all you need, but do as you please....
Here's a tip on mixing it....get one of those little paint mixers for your battery drill.. Have everything ready to go. Get you two cups and mark one A and one B, pour equal amounts of each together in a third cup and stir with the drill for about 10 seconds, and pour it. You have to work quickly as it starts expanding the second you pour the parts together.
Have you a bucket of acetone ready and just set the mixer paddle down in it (you don't have time to clean it right now). The acetone will melt the foam away and she'll be ready to rinse off after you're done pouring. I've done this many many times, works well.
Oh and did I mention have everything ready, clear path from your bench to the pour, tape around the pours holes (as mentioned above), old clothes....bascially heed all advise above... Good luck.
