Thread: Spray Foam Insulation for project.

Okay fellas, I need a bit of help choosing materials for a project. Do any of you have experience with spray foam insulation?

If this would be better suited for "The Conversation" section, it is at the Mod's discretion to move it.

I have a Pontiac '06 G6 GT that is missing the dual cup holder insert for the middle console. (Will add pics for reference). Due to the discontinued nature of Pontiac, this item is understandably scarce. I plan on giving a few junk yards a call to see if their paper inventory has some G6's not part of the inventory I searched on their website.

The MaCGyver part of my brain has been slowly spit-balling on this pretty much since I bought the car off my mother-in-law. I think, with a large dose of ingenuity, some spray foam insulation and/or sealant would be great to make a replacement insert. Should be cheaper than an OEM part that I probably won't find. It will have the added benefit of insulating my drinks. Most importantly: it will keep said beverages from turning into a frackin Weeble Wobble every time I take a damn turn! Thankfully, no major spills... yet *knocks on wood*.

The plan for the project will be to line the console with something (saran wrap? Modge Podge Mold-Release? Vaseline?) where the cup holder insert goes, then spray the stuff in. I might use one of our larger cups/glasses (also lined/coated for easy removal) to form the "relief" part. There will obviously be post-set trimming. Gonna lay down some saran wrap or tin foil around the area to keep from making a mess.

So I need recommendations for a spray foam insulation and/or sealant for my latest "over engendered Spit-ball".
Looking for:
* Can be bought at brick & mortar stores.
* On the lower end of expansion amount (I know some make a bead, while others blow up like a Styrofoam balloon).
* Canned. Cause mixing chems is too much work for this.

Got any suggestions?

The middle console. The orange bit is a lighting mod, I believe, not original. But this is basically what my cup holder looks like right now.


The insert.

I look forward to your thoughtful responses!
