DIY: foam under carpet repair

original post found here with pics
http://muibubbles.blogspot.com/2008/...unk-trunk.html


so the previous owner was stranded in his FD in the boonies... he got hungry.. so he ate a piece of the foam under the carpet...

have no fear, bubbletech is here.
Problem: missing portion of foam
Goal: re-mold foam under carpet for a sturdy base
Solution: bubble tech

Materials needed
Great stuff (foam)
Aluminum foil
Lubrication (petroleum jelly, pam, lotion)
piece of wood
weight

So what i did was i laid out the aluminum foil over the portion where the foam was missing.

Next i lubricated the aluminum foil (i used lotion, its all i had)

Now with the carpet in place, lift it up and spray the Great stuff on the missing area. Great stuff is really sticky so it will stick to the foam and the lubrication on the aluminum foil will prevent it from sticking to the floor.

Last, you want to place it back down.. i used a wood panel i haud and a bucket on top of it to add weight.. When the great stuff cures, it expands and hardens. the weight on top of the carpet is to prevent it from expanding too much..

now when its done curing it pick it up and should look like this...

now peel the aluminum foil and whaaaaaala!

Notice the big circle in the middle? i didnt use enough foam so it was a soft spot and empty, round 2!
