super sticky, and foams up more than expected. Really fills all those cracks and crevices. Can be razor bladed smooth and painted to match the surrounding material if you wish

I used this in electrical boxes to seal them prior to termite work. This was required by our termite company to assure the lethal gas did not seep into other buildings. I watched videos prior to using and these were very helpful. I used a nail to stop up the nozzle after using it so I was able to use it a 2nd time. Videos are very helpful!

Does what it says on the can. Great for air sealing around electrical connections in an attic.

Response from GREAT STUFF & DuPontMar 8, 2021
Hi, Home Depot Customer - Thank you for providing your comments about using DuPont™ Great Stuff™ Fireblock Insulating Foam Sealant. We apologize for any inconvenience our product may have caused you. If the cans were within shelf life (best if used by date is on the bottom of the can), the most likely reason the wouldn't cure into foam is if the cans weren't shaken enough to mix the components in the can. You can return them to the point of purchase for a refund or exchange if they are within shelf life.

Not enough propellant in can to use entire product. Very wasteful.

Dangerously misleading product name
Not only will this foam not block fires, it will burn faster and easier than all of the other building materials in your house (that I can think of). One of the pictures has this being used around an electrical box. That is a terrible idea, don't do it. A small electrical failure in an outlet could cause a fire within seconds if this foam ignites around the box. Watch videos on Youtube or try burning a piece of this foam for yourself. Dow Dupont is responsible for tons of fire damage fueled by this foam. Even if it "meets code" in your area, don't use it. I used fire barrier caulk as I could not get it to ignite no matter how long I held a lighter to it. It's more expensive, it's messier, and more difficult to clean up, but the peace of mind is worth the inconvenience and extra cost.

Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their reply is,The terms “fireblock” and “firestop” in the US are defined through regulations. Great Stuff™ Fireblock Insulating Foam Sealant meets the regulatory fireblock properties according to IBC 2015 §718.2 and IRC 2015 §R302.11 Fireblocking and ICC-ESR 1961, BUT NOT firestop properties according to IBC 2015 §714.3 and §714.3.2.1. Great Stuff™ Insulating Foam Sealants are therefore NOT to be confused with firestop products and are not to be used for insulating the inside of electrical boxes. See the product label or https://www.greatstuff.dupont.com/products/greatstuff-fireblock.html [greatstuff.dupont.com] for more details.

    It worked great for what I needed. I am redoing my chimney and used it to cover some open spots. Dried fast and cleaned off what I didn't need. Would suggest it to anyone.

    Worked well to seal the insulating covers over my can lighting in the attic. It does not expand as much as I thought it would, but there may be some cooler temperatures at the time of install that had something to do with this.? As far as being fire retardant, I am not sure yet how well that is, I plan to run my own test on some sample foam left over on some drywall in the garage under controlled conditions.
