I've been doing so much stuff with the move I haven't had a chance to monitor the gluing process, which has been as interesting as I thought it would beso here we go: Moisture: I knew a good deal of this would be controlling the foaming, so I used my spray bottle to mist all the sides, which I think I still over did, but oh well, too late now! Now time for the Gorilla Glue Next time to clamp it down, I figured this big guy would do the trick! Just Kidding! It's foam silly, I used rubber bands instead. Aaaaaand, here comes the foam, like we knew it would So I've been on "foam wipe duty" for about half an hour now and it's finally starting to slow. Watch your water is the main advice I would give. There is going to be more paint touching up than I wanted now because of it. More later.
