What is this beige goo in my freezer?

Hi Michael,

Hard to tell exactly what the goo is from the pic.

If the freezer is still functional you can repair the insulation with a can of 'Polyurethane Expanding Foam' from your local hardware store (search web).

Clean up the 'goo' first, with gloves on, try:

• to physically remove as much as possible with plastic tools so as not to damage the freezer
• then try cleaning with Metholated Spirits
• If still residue, then clean with Acetone
• dry completely
• apply tape to cover the hole
• carefully make a small hole in the tape the size of the foam applicator tube.
• then spray expanding foam into hole via the tube on the can
• you can put more tape over the small hole for a neater finish as it expands and dries

If you haven't used expanding foam before, try it on a similar sized hole in a cardboard box or other rubbish, to gauge how much you need. It has a unique behaviour and expands/grows very rapidly. Follow the instructions on the can carefully.

Regards

Chris
