I want to insulate a cast iron bathtub. Do you think that this would be a good product to use? Is this considered "closed cell" foam?

Don't know I used this product on my outside fish pond to fill cracks in waterfall between rocks

I would use rubber undercoating here on Amazon or at the auto parts store. Very inexpensive, dense product. Been using for years on sinks, works better than these expando-foams.

It's Black....I personally would not use if for a tub. I'm not saying that it wouldn't work, I really don't know that it would.

Closed cell is best for that application. It provides a vapor barrier at 2 inch thickness

I have used bubble wrap over my in window airconditioners for several years. And also over draftyl windows. It is a good insulator and the the drafts do not get through - Dot

I disagree with the previous comment. I've been using this mattress on a wood floor, and it must be aired and dried out constantly or else water will condense on the entire underside of the foam and cause mold. I've been looking for a good slatted base to put it on so that it will breathe.

Yes, This product foams just like your normal bath soap. That is why I chose it over another product.

It is a liquid bath soap, but it doesnt really make bubbles. When you rub it between your hands, it makes a soap film like a bar of soap would, not really a "foam".

Hello,this stuff is Flammable as is all foam products.If the heat from the radiator is very low to the place where you are using this foam,it should be alright.As you know after this dries you can cut excess off with a razor (Careful),sand if needed and then painted.Personally,I do not think that the heat will be hot enough to ignite this foam,Especially if it is blocked by the baseboard.

I don't know because I only used it to insulated the hollow area of two 2 x 4 stud walls where they join and not what you are asking about.The best thing is to write to the Touch n Foam manufacture. I did, before I used this product, and they were very helpful.

I did my entire fiberglass tub with it. It's great. I cleaned the tub thoroughly until it sparkled, rinsed it and then washed again with rubbing alcohol. It will also work on steel tubs. Just make sure tub is clean before applying. Mine has been on for months now and there is no peeling!

No, it is not a slow rise foam to use in an enclosed cavity. Think of this stuff as splattering spaghetti on a wall which instantly hardens.

No I haven't tried that but may thought is that the would work. I used this insulated tub for my son's wedding and it was great since there was no condensation on the outer tub. If you put it inside a metal tub I would recommending maybe putting plastic wrap or something else on the outer clear tub so it doesn't get scratched from the metal tub. That way if you used it as just the clear tub it wouldn't look all scratched and clouded.

Hi Tony, Yes, closed cell Foam It Green works great in combination with rigid foam board insulation. Thanks! Linda

I am not a seller, was a user.This is a product for small make-over stuff. For New construction use the "602" Google this How-To: Using a Foam It 602 Low Pressure Kit | Spray Foam Direct

There is closed cell foam and open cell foam. Think of it like the difference between a box of balls and a box of crumpled paper. The density of the foam depends on the size of the cells, the thickness of the walls of the cells and the type of material used to make the foam. Open cell foam will hold water, closed cell foam will not. Hope this helps.

I used it on a porcelain tub. It worked well and seems very durable. I only needed to cover abour 5 square feet of surface and did not use all of the container. I am well satisfied.

oh woops, I thought you were talking about the hot tub cover, this product is just like bubble wrap you get in the packing material. I cut the sides so it fit the shape of my hot tub and it held the heat in.. it floated nicely over the top of the water and was easy to put on/ take off. Over TOP of the hot tub I had a solid cover and over top of that (to protect it from the elements) I had a fabric cover with elastic on the sides to hold it on the hot tub over the solid cover. Hope it helps, I should have looked at the picture before responding.

I use it with the holes closed. I like the intensity with them closed. They are just vents to let the steam out
