Tilting her back, inch by inch. The purpose of which is so that the foam 'juice' will run to the rear of the hull before expanding. The farther tilted back, the better it will work. |

I got it to a fairly steep angle, but was limited by the transom. In the picture on the right, you can see a sheet of plastic on the ground to protect the hull from the dirt. Precautions were also taken to be sure there were no rocks on the ground at the point of contact.
Foaming turned into a work of art in itself. The chemicals are initially each the consistancy of something barely thicker than water. After combining the two in small amounts (about 3 oz. each), there was about 20 seconds before the mixture began to RAPIDLY expand. The solution had to be mixed thoroughly and poured out of the mixing container into the hull in this time. It also became very, very hot (to the point of melting my plastic mixing cup) if I measured out too much of each or did not pour it quickly enough. It was an interesting experience to say the least. |
