Is it a hard spot to reach or something? Just curious, why the spray stuff as opposed to normal foil-backed deadener.

"Great Stuff" at Home Depot. It's expanding foam, works well in hard to reach areas and only about $5 per can.

It's really not even that good... I've used it before with less than stellar results.

be carefull with the great stuff - it can bend and dent panel, it will set up hard on outside where air hits it fast but takes long to dry inside, and in florida heat the inside stuff will expand and bulge out everything.............. i would not use it- and it stinks the car up

I've used this stuff several times, and I've yet to see or even hear about it bending panels. You must be using it very confined areas?

yea i was tring to stop the flexing of my side panels in my astro - down along the rockers - 164+ db everything shakes, damn i had to use a dozen tubs of liquid nails to hold the roof supports together and fix a sheet of 3/4 mdf to the ceiling.
i got lucky it just expanded up and out the top, and i cut it off
but i saw another installer use it to make a speaker incloser in the door (he hollowed it out to size he wanted after cured) but the door bulged out and had to be punded back in.. funny to see a installer do body work......

Great stuff is pretty good to use as a base for a mold tho..
