OGT 40 - How not to install an acrylic bath with spray foam

[@freeheeler09]

Thanks Tas, for being brave and honest enough to share your mistakes!

[@dreamingcode]

Very nice of you to upload a mistake and show us how to correct it!

[@coffeeexmachina]

Thanks for the advice. I just moved into a house with a new tub that has no support under the drain end, so I was considering using the foam.

[@TW-il4vy]

Good cautionary presentation. It would also help for you to disclose what type/brand of foam you've used - probably a closed cell foam, rather than open cell.

[@odelloutdoors3424]

Ouch. 🥴

[@wowcolors]

Mortar is great but makes the bottom of the tub a lot colder as it pulls the heat out of the water

[@gdblackthorn4137]

So did you should have used low expansion foam? ...and add water to the tub...

[@LittleJordanFarm]

What not to do is just as important as not more. Blessings

Thank you soo much, I almost screwed up and did the same thing

[@catfish24]

You should of had your tub flange screwed to each stud then had a couple of 5 gallon buckets of water in the tub for weight and also use window and door low expanding foam.

[@alphaturd6922]

Don't have flange to screw to studs or foam works fine

[@seane6616]

Ty for this!

[@richardl3720]

Shoud have used window and door foam rather than the maximum expanding foam.
