how many cans

[latshki]

how many cans of GS will in need for the back wall and sides of a 4x3x2 (lhw)
I will be using insulation foam also
I was thinking around 4-5

thanks

4 feet long and 3 feet high? It depends on how much foam sheeting you plant to use. If you are covering the entire back wall, I'd say you are going to need... maybe 10 cans. Better to buy too many and return the ones you didn't need.

[latshki]

ok
thanks

At that rate I'd just buy a sheet of high-density foam as opposed to the spray- easier to work with and cheaper.

[latshki]

yea thats what I think Im going to do but I am going to make a termite hill out of it
how should I go about that
I was thinking chicken wire or eggcrate

[Epiphile]

That's a neat idea. How do you mean? Something like a cross-section of a termite hill or a hill standing by itself?

[latshki]

not too sure I like the idea of a free standing one
but that might take up too much room
oh well

[HewesHort]

that does sound cool. whatever you do dont use chicken wire, the rust would be bad for the tank.

[latshki]

what about aluminum or plastic coated stuff
what else could I use other than egg crate

[Epiphile]

I guess if you built a frame out of chicken wire or the like and then coated it in a sort of plastic or something, you could spray foam on top of that and then when the foam hardens remove the frame and the plastic.
