[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3645563, member: 40561"] I woke up this morning with a wild hair to tackle this project and learned a few things in the process...and ended up settling (for now) with stuffing the cavity with plastic bags. This mornings lessons: I knew gasoline would melt styrofoam...and I've done so in the past and you can "play" with the stuff and squeeze excess gasoline out and its rubbery, or let it absorb more and its more fluid/fluffy. Leave it be and it'll eventually evaporate. My thought was, acetone would evaporate quicker...so melted some down with acetone and that is a whole different mess. You cannot manipulate this stuff like the gasoline stuff...it is STICKY. People say both are basically napalm which I fully believe, but the acetone stuff is a whole different ballgame which promptly got thrown away and took some good cleaning to get off my hands. At that point I decided to abort mission and use the plastic bags. I may fill it with foam later but for the time being the plastic did pretty much what I wanted and has zero risk of making a mess.
