Does any one know the type and availability of the spray on foam product used to help secure the gas tanks?

Thanks

the two parts need to be equal, then mix and pour. I would do a test pour of a small amount, it wasn't as hard as I expected. one thing, the stuff sticks to everything so tape off anything you don't want foamed, including any deck it might get on. If you don't the only way to get it off is sanding, not exactly how you want to take something off gelcoat. I used a combination of tape and paste wax as a mold release.
