Subject: Re: Attaching basement pole covers with "Great Stuff"?
I probably should have been more clear in my original post - the wood
covers are already in place. They're simply flopping around in the poles, waiting to be attached to something, somehow. I originally planned to drill a couple of holes in the top and bottom into which I would inject some expanding foam. This was the original plan, but it appears, from the responses, so far, that there are other, perhaps better plans. Nevertheless, this is where I am. I'm wondering if this plan was ill-advised. Should I continue on this path, or should I try to remove them and implement one of these? Assuming the expanding foam idea is a good one, is there a brand/type that is ideally suited to this application? Worst case is that it won't work, and I'll be no worse off than I am now.
