Merry Christmas to All.

So I arose this Xmas morning and decided to work on the layout. I decided to fill some gaps and cracks in the layout top. To do this I usually use Great Stuff; but I hate using it because it leaks and drips and makes a mess. I like it because it easily adheres Styrofoam together for mountains etc.

But GS WAS a one or maybe two-trick pony; use it once and even if you clear out the dispensing tube with pipe cleaners; the next time the base connection will leak.

I had purchased some cans of GS sometime back. Today reaching for it I noticed a major change to the dispensing tube. It was gray not clear and has a spring lever attached. I looked at the tip seeing if I needed to cut off a section and NO you don't. I shook the can, attaching  the dispensing mechanism tightly; pressed the spring lever slowly as instructed.

I could actually control the flow of sticky expandable foam. I stopped pressing and the foam stopped flowing; What ? where was the dripping mess?? well nowhere!

Finishing my foaming project I placed the can of GS aside. I few hours later I noticed that I missed a spot to fill. All you do is twist of the small amount of GS that had dried on the dispensing tip. Shaking first, AND then pressing the trigger the dispenser dispensed foam again no mess!!

No pipe cleaners no clean up!
