Alternative to "Great Stuff"

I have had that issue many times and just got the same diameter plastic hose at Ace, cut it to what size I needed and heated the can in water so it would push through the extra resistance of the longer hose

"Not so Great Stuff" - Harbor Freight

:-)

I've seen a couple other brands of expanding foam. Though, I'm not sure any of them still exist. Can you make the tube longer, and do it that way?

Whatcha building?

I boxed in skylights and need to shoot foam between the skylight box and the joist.

Wurth makes stuff for the window and door trade 0 bigger cans with

Friend of mine foamed in around his storm door. The foam pushed the door frame in (aluminum) and now the door won't close.

How about just stuff in some fiberglass around your skylight?

Gotta use the low expansion foam designed for the job. Great Stuff aint it.

Great stuff in the RED can may expand too much if you use too much. Use your head. The Great Stuff in the BLUE can has a lower expansion rate. Try that. Leave room in front and rear of your bead for expansion, don't fill the cavity completely otherwise it can only expand and push your frame out. You might also put a brace across your frame to prevent it from being warped.
