Spritzing some water into the cavity should activate the curing, which is NOT drying but a catalyzing reaction. Some others have created quite a controversy, regarding the purported wordings around "Fireblocking" that suggests very different actual resistance to burning; unfortunately building codes and regulations appear to make ORANGE the only parameter needed to satisfy codes, when it burns just like other foams.
Hi Ian, interesting video. I believe the fire block foam is to air seal around small gaps around pipes, wires and wood framing. It's pink so the building inspectors can see it easier. If you want the foam to cure faster mist it with water.

Interesting, I’ll have to look into that. Good stuff
Great content Ian. Gotta love anything foam related, especially when there’s fire involved.
Ben McCullough thanks Ben
