CEP Posted May 29, 2003 Report Posted May 29, 2003 Any opinions on the use of foam on basic fire ops. ie:transport,bucketing,handling,etc.? Quote
downwash Posted May 29, 2003 Report Posted May 29, 2003 It''s crappy stuff to handle, CEP, and you need to keep it outside your airframe as much as possible. The ''Sax-o-Foam'' rig sure helps do that, especially if you long-line it. Transport inside is OK for new, unopened jugs, but I''d still sooner sling it, and the 45''s make that easy to rationalize. If you do get it on your airframe, wash, wash, wash, and rinse, rinse, rinse. And then you''ll probably still find some cranny, when summer''s over, where it ate away at the skin or such. Treat it like a highly corrosive acid, keeping it away from everything you cherish, and you shouldn''t have any problems. Quote
downwash Posted May 30, 2003 Report Posted May 30, 2003 412 has probably summarized the issue better, CEP. Quote
