Bet you're a proper fanny magnet! 😂

 

I was joking…. I report a few a month. As an eBay seller myself, it gets my back up when businesses start flogging stuff on there to then say ‘final price is plus vat’….. it’s usually second hand plant.

really like the illbruck 330 have been going over all joints as well as ingoes (reveals, for the southerners) with the sp925 just to make sure it's airtight. that stuff is a whole different ball game.

It's weird. Not like the crunchy run of the mill expanding foam. This stuff is like rubberised merengue...but in a good way.

its got a 35% movement factor hence the jelly feel.

[Onoff]

As there's a skin the other side i.e the non cut side of the foam I'm hoping that will provide the airtightness.

 

 

 

Primer at the ready, got some battens ready too for bracing.

FM330 is great foam, unfortunately I am struggling to get it in Northern Ireland, and shipping prices are ridiculous from England it seems.

Got the soffit piece up.

 

Held a piece of Marmox up and drew a line on the frame in pencil. Masking taped to that line or near enough.

 

Primed the 4 sides with some tile primer about 2:1. Let it get tacky. Foamed upward onto the reveal concentrating on the edge where the window meets the soffit. Then foamed the top, internal corners of the reveals. Did some lines perpendicular to the window about every 300mm.

 

Held the two soffit pieces up on a board and wedged with some battens down to the sill.

 

 

Cocked up a tad as the little infill piece on the top right, is at a slight angle. I used the bottom of the masking tape as my guide. In the crap light last night I thought it was the frame! 😤 Plaster should hide it OK.

@Onoff

when fitting a piece of board use a spirit level instead of the board to keep it stiff and straight, you can see it’s level without having to keep checking it.
