Hello,

I bought a can of expanding foam from woodies and injected it in to the walls between two bedrooms in an attempt to muffle the sound of voices.

I' only used one can at a time as the warning says more than one can explode.

I injextes the foam in the bottom hole and left the top one for gas to escape which you can now see the foam has expanding to its level! Should I drill another hole?

I've avoided the room all day and left the windows open to avoid build up of fumes. It will have been curing for about 12 hours before I need to sleep in my bedroom. Will it be safe enough to sleep or is there still a risk of fumes?

Did you use a fireproof or regular foam?

A regular one! There's no wiring or any source of ignition in the wall.
