but watching it being sprayed on and puff up on the walls of our house i can’t help but think it would be useful in other things. Maybe spraying it in a mold of some sort. Light weight. strong……Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
I think you got the best use for it already (insulate the home). I suppose you could make a sculpture if you had a mold? Hmmm?? also. I don’t know maybe just squirt it around to watch it expand when you’re bored?

My apartment is really poorly insulated. The best way to fix that would be to get foam/injected insulation done but right now I can not afford it. I was thinking that there must be a place where you can get insulated curtains to hang on walls that are exposed to the exterior. Like those large commercial type curtains in office building that you would hang along an entire wall or foam board that you would stick to that wall.
It won’t be as efficient but it will keep me from paying a small fortune for heating while I save up for the insulation work.
Thanks!
We had that problem in my mom’s 80 year old house on the side walls which were plaster without insulation. We bought 4′ x 8′ Rigid FoamFoam Insulation sheets (1 1/2 inch, I think) and wrapped them with burlap (you could use any fabric — king-sized sheets from a discount store would be a cheap source of a lot of yardage). Then we stapled vinyl sheeting to the wall for a vapor barrier and fastened the panels to the wall with drywall screws through to the studs. It made a huge difference in keeping the rooms warm and the wrapped foam made a giant bulletin board that we could hang things on.

I put Foam Insulation in the cracks around my windows a few months ago,but what’s a way that I can get it off without damaging my windows? I peeled some of the foam bubble that formed but there’s still residue left on the window.
Kerosene generally is the prescribed remedy to remove foam. That will ruin the treatment if you have stained wood windows. In which case you would need to sand it down and re-stain. Paint should not be damaged by the kerosene as long as you are careful(dab it on), at least of the few times I have removed foam from paint it did not deteriorate.
