Foam. What can I say about foam? I could dedicate a whole website just to the artistic
application of polyurethane foam… and I just might. Anyway, applying the foam to the screened frame went more or less as expected. Knowing that uncured foam has the viscosity of cheap whipped-cream, I maneuvered the frame so that the place that I was going to apply the foam was more or less horizontal. I worked as unhurriedly and patiently as my personality would allow (which isn’t terribly unhurried OR patient).
The complete application of the foam took about one man-hour, but that was stretched over about eight total hours. This was because I had to apply the foam to as many horizontal surfaces as possible, then wait for it to cure long enough to support it’s own weight and not gloop off on to the floor, then re-maneuver the frame and apply more foam.
Once the frame was adequately covered and the foam had cured (I let it set overnight), I pulled out the irrigation pipe leaving more-or-less perfectly round eye holes.
