Foam is ok. Applicator is terrible. Don't buy.

Foam is ok. Applicator is terrible. Don't buy.
The foam it puts out is ok, but the applicator is terrible. The tube is not attached to the spout, and the tube keeps popping off while spraying form or trying to get the tube back into cracks. Trust me, when the tube pops off while you're spraying, you've got a huge mess on your hands.There are other products that have the tube securely attached to the spout. Look for them. Don't buy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff!
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2024
Verified Purchase
This foam spray is way better than the yellow stuff. It expands a little bit but not too much. It is water soluble and easy to clean up. It is reusable if you just blow out the tube and wash it with water after each use. And it clings fairly well to surfaces when applying, especially if you pre-coat the area by applying a very thin layer of the stuff with your finger, etc. just enough to make it sticky.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST foam sealant ever - keeps for years!
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023
Verified Purchase
This stuff is fantastic!! I literally just used the last of the can I bought here in April of 2021. Just run hot water through the "straw" when finished until you can blow through the straw with your mouth. Then run hot water over the nozzle on the can. If you do this every time you can use it over and over again, unlike any other foam sealant I've bought in the past that was good for one or two uses. It also doesn't expand much which makes it way easier to use the correct amount. I'll never buy another brand again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for multiple reuse
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024
Verified Purchase
I found I could only use the GreatStuff in one instance and then it would clog up. I tried this DAP foam and use it exclusively now. Just run warm water thru the straw for a minute and eventually it will clear the straw easily. I haven't had issues with the nozzle clogging or not clearing on following reusues.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product, but not for every application
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024
Verified Purchase
I needed to fill the space around where a bathroom exhaust fan duct went through the foundation to the outside. This extended deep, perhaps 8-10 inches. I was concerned with fumes as my wife is an asthmatic and since she's fine with latex paint, I figured this would be safer than polyurethane expanding foam. However, it was not the appropriate product for what I needed. I followed the directions, and only sprayed partial depths at one session, but even that never hardened. After a week, it was still puffy, soft, and crumbly, The DAPtex is clearly for shallow applications. OTOH, it was very easy to clean up, and that is always a plus.

Just for those wondering, I cleaned out the foam as best as I could and instead used expanding PU foam. There was no odor, it expanded and filled the space, and it set and hardened. Only negatives are first, that you must not get it on skin or clothes, so I felt it necessary to wear my Tyvek suit, rubber gloves, and face shield as a precaution. It is messy, but the key is to leave it alone until it hardens. And second, that it is pretty much a one-time use, so buy the cheapest stuff you can find--it's all the same.

Certainly I'll keep the DAPtex around for narrower and shallower spaces that need filling.

5.0 out of 5 stars DAPtex Plus Ltx Foam Sealant
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2023
Verified Purchase
DAPtex Plus Ltx Foam Sealant is my number one choice of foam insulation because DAPtex Plus offers a great barrier against high winds, heavy moisture, and clean-up is easy with water. In addition, DAPtex Plus is easily removed at a later date, and the price is reasonable, too. If you're winterizing either an antique / vintage home or new home / apartment, DAPtex Plus Foam Sealant will reduce your time, effort, and cost to get the job done. ENJOY!

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING: Does not come with straw
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2012
Verified Purchase
I purchased one of these cans a few weeks ago, and the can did not come with a straw, despite the instructions telling you to put the straw in the nozzle and all pictures on the can showing this mythical straw.
I tried a number of straws from various other products, but all of them were too large or too small to work with the nozzle of this product.

I surely thought that this was a mistake and the straw had simply fallen off before shipping. There's even tape on the can where it seems like a straw would normally be placed, so I purchased another can recently in the hope of using that straw for both.
When that can arrived, it too had no sign of the legendary straw.

Now my only solution is to attempt to find replacement straws online, quite a hassle to go through to get a tiny piece of plastic.

I have a nagging feeling that the people who are reviewing this product bought it in a store and not off Amazon, because the thing I received is totally useless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I wanted - seals, insulates, and doesn't dry hard
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2015
Verified Purchase
This is exactly what I wanted - it seals and insulates! You need to set the right expectations for this product. It isn't caulking, neither is it like the Great Stuff, so it won't dry hard, but neither do things like fiberglass insulation. When it cures, it becomes a compressed powder-like substance. Since it isn't a caulk and doesn't dry hard, it is not suitable for caulking trim that you put around doors and windows - you use caulk for those purposes. But if you are looking to fill gaps around doors and windows, this product does the job perfectly, and what's more, it is easy to clean up if you over-spray, and expands a little but doesn't over-expand. I had a hard time cleaning up the Great Stuff since it dries so hard and sticks onto my doors and windows, but you can clean excess Dap Tex Plus just with water and sponge.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome!

Pros: the color is white, which is great when blending into stuff. I'm in an apartment and needed an easy way to fill holes/ gaps around the place to help stop the bugs we were getting. Easy to re-use.

cons: price- I bought one can, but I don't think I'll buy another one because of the price. I bought a 7$ polyurethane foam after I ran out of this one. Nice, but too pricey for me!
