Does anyone know where to buy the foam Heartland uses to seal plumbing pipe gabs under their trailers. Its black poly expanding foam. I see some use the Greatstuff Pond foam. Is this the same stuff expansion wise ? Any other products that can be easily sourced ?

They probably used the "expandable" "Great Stuff" it is called you can get at Home Depot and Lowes. After application paint it black. Works great, I have used it. Wear thin latex gloves. It is a night mare getting it off your hands.

Yes, HD (and ACE H/W) has the black which is the maximum expanding formula.

Definitely wear gloves when applying foam. I learned the hard way.

DO NOT let it drip on anything! if you have a painted area near where your working I'd mask it off.

I'm not within 500 miles where I can see this stuff, but many times black poly is UV resistant. I'd be very interested in learning about it. Regular ivory colored foam just goes all to heck when the sun hits it for long.

Mex, the FAQ sheet.
Yes, the landscape foam is UV durable. I've used it and it has a greater bond strength than the indoor stuff, alo somewhat more difficult to apply, it's thinner when dispensed. If used in a vertical orientation, have some tape or other backing material to hold the Landscape foam in place until set.

And for mercy's sake, BELIEVE the label when it says to apply in carefully judged quantities- it really does continue to expand....and expand...and expand...until before you know it there's a gigantic bulge where no bulge was meant to be.
Never mind how I know that!
