Not a great fan but have had to use it recently to fill gaps before trimming.
It seems as if the heat is stopping it setting properly.
2 different brands both sort of collapsed and ran out the gap leaving sticky residue.
Rather than holding its shape the foam turns gloopy and runs.
Anybody else had problems like this?
Only thing i can think is heat/humidity.
Used it in a hot building, like a greenhouse, was 27c inside.
 
and upside down for spraying?
 
One was a wickes own brand which was actually out of date by 2 months.. probably sat on the store shelf for years.
The ever was everbuild, this one was just wet amd runny would not hold its shape at all
 
Was this gun grade foam or one of those amateur cans with the silly tube
