I'd follow the crowd and use expanding foam with a decent foam gun. The metal ones ( about 10 ) are worth the money as you can clean out with solvent and re use. I have no regrets about buying one. WEAR GLOVES though or else write off the sweatshirt and jeans by wiping hands on them ( or is that just me??? :scratch:)

Really like the idea of power isolation in shop for the big stuff. I assume that's to cut off the 3 phase?

Coming along really well. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Happy New Year. :beer:

Tell you a funny tale that happened to me earlier this year when using foam.

In an old lighthouse generator room and there I am using expanding fire grade foam to fill a breakthrough void in the partition wall, between engine room and store room next door, where cables had been run through.

Anyway,I've spent a couple of minutes slowly filling the void and stood back to let it expand and set.

Next thing a workmate opens the door leading to outside,in rushes a gust of wind,pressurises the room and ball of unset sticky foam is blasted out of the hole and across the storeroom next door and right into my mates open toolbox.

He laughed at me only until he realised where it had landed.

OZ.

Hi Ian,  The Isolator cuts the 240v supply from the house, the phase converter will take a supply from that.  :zap:



Cheers for all the gap filling advice chaps  :thumbup: , I will call into screwfix later in the week and grab one of those guns and a tin of foam, in the past, I just used the cans with the straw attached .


All the best Lads  :beer:


Rob


PS if it all goes tits up I will be blaming OZ  :coffee:
