Then the plumber is a c**t.........pull it out and build it in properly. I definitely wouldn't skim over it.

As long as you have a word with the gaffer of the job then, cos as soon as someone leans on it or knocks it, it's gonna look like a smashed egg.:-0 Have fun!

you know that foam stuff just disintegrates into dust over time?

Can't get me head round how some people use it expecting it to hold doors and windows in place :RpS_crying:

It only disintegrates if it is exposed to UV light, so as long as its covered up and protected from sunlight then it doesn't lose its strength.

Agree that it is no substitute for proper frame fixings on doors/windows though!
