ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #28 Posted March 28, 2019 Looks about a mess I made a couple Saturdays ago at work, only with LiquiTube tire sealant instead of foam (which by the way I recommend looking into this stuff, best tire sealant you can buy). We have a trucking company who uses this stuff in all their tires, an 11R24.5 truck tire takes about 7-8 pumps of sealant out of our tank. Whoever did the last set of tires on this particular truck put WAY too much in one of them. I let all the air out, broke the outside bead, then flipped over the tire and rim to break the inside bead. When the rim hit the ground the inside bead broke on its own, and that nasty sealant came out of there like Old Faithful. I had that crap all over me, the wall, the ceiling, the front of the wrecker, even found some on the windshield of the service truck that was parked two bays down from where I was working. Its funny now but it wasn't when I was out there for three hrs cleaning up my mess. That's been almost three weeks ago and we are still finding little blobs of that crap on things around that end of the shop. 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only got 2 little spots on my mustache and 3 or four on top of my hat but all over my hands. SOOOOOOOOOOO lucky it didn't get all over me. Now that would've been epic funny! BTW, the tire actually seems like it's going to work very well. So anyone giving this a try, WAIT 'til it's dry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and seal the holes with silicone or something so water doesn't get in there. If you're working with spray expandable foam, It's best to hire professionals who know what the're doing. A couple of Ommpa Loompa's would have been handy to have kicking around. They are experts at the spray foam insulating business, work cheap and nothing sticks to orange skin!

Yeah, sometimes he eats too much yogurt before the Zagray show and gets all bloated so he wears them loose. @Docwheelhorse Tony can confirm his yogurt consumption. As you can see, my hosen socks are always up to code 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,981 #41 Posted March 31, 2019 On the subject of foam, I once worked at a place that made lifebelts. An aluminium mould, consisting of two halves clamp together was filled with two liquids that reacted and when cured made the foam. These chemicals were in 45 gallon drums. One day, somehow one chemical got into a drum of the other. Wallfish's tyre is nothing to what happened then. The whole room was filled with foam and it was bubbling out the door. Took a week to get the place and equipment cleaned up and back in use. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't fill the room Norm, but I had a big mess when I tried pouring a 5 gallon bucket of liquid foam into a 2" hole in a hydro turbine pier cavity. I ended up with a bucket being supported by a waterfall of solid foam. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
