    No, but what a logical step forward!  Recognise the Silka brand - but is it available here yet?

    Also assume it will 'seal' the wood and possibly reduce rot?

    Can also see a use for emergency repairs etc.

    Neat.

  • Just looked on Google & I can't see anyone selling it in the UK

  • Hi Gary 

    yes you can get it hear from what I have heard,it looks good I hope someone has seen it in the flesh ,I wonder about how dense it is with the timber rocking around in the wind ect,it looks like a pu resin

  • I will ask the guy who showed me the youtube clip were he got this from

      I've used single component expanding foam many times before and have always been stunned at its strength when fully cured. I've always understood 2 part mixes are stronger and suspect it generates a similar aerated resin based 'foam' on closer inspection.

      We use a fair few 'instant' repair products for the work we do in looking after business parks, so could be a useful product just in that respect.

  • I watched their video and another Sika video, they say is only for fences not decking, and its can only be used in dry holes. I tried to call tarmac building products to get a price but they are closed until Monday.

    here is the link post foam

      The 'water' issue makes sense as I remember you can 'spray' the single mix foam on application with water (ie hand sprayer) to reduce its expansion, adhesion and/or cool it. It also made it denser, but more brittle I would guess.

  • Looks similar to what they use when carrying out emergency repair to Armco barriers.

    Although I would guess what they use is suitable for use in wet conditions

      I've always wondered how they then get those metal posts out for repairs...?

      They must use a solvent or brute vertical force from a machine ?

  • someone over here does a version called kongcrete I think
