"Sika Post Fix" expanding foam

[EricW]

Has anyone used this Sika Post Fix expanding foam for a basket receiver yet?
Seems ok for a 4x4, but does it harden up enough for 2" pipe?

It's $12 bucks a bag at home depot.

I could definitely see it being helpful compared to concrete for those hike in locations, or weird spots like tree trunks or boulder cracks.

There ya go.



Edit: You were fixing it as I was helping. :thmbup:

I'd like to try it, but I'm afraid it will fill up the sleeve and the basket won't go in

Isn't that why you tape the bottom?

Poly jacking is becoming a big thing so assume this is similar on a smaller scale.

just use fast setting quickcrete red bags. Place them around dry, tamp and level, then pour water on top it will be fine will suck rest of moisture out of the ground.

This thread reminded me of Bultx. Whatever happened to that guy.

We did this at a course. Worked out fine. :thmbup:

The gun thread hasn't been used in awhile...

I have set 100+ sleeves this way and had a grand total of 1 failure. That one was on a small berm so likely simply had insufficient water to leech.

Thx for replies. Just curiosity and special applications like cracks or treestumps.

Have a ton of holes that are pretty far from the nearest road. Just carrying a backpack with a sleeve and a bag of this vs a wheel barrow with concrete bags and water is really appealing.
