1
Inspect All Four Exterior Corners

Start at ground level and follow the trim up to the soffit. Look for gaps where siding meets vertical trim.

2
Pack With Steel Wool and Apply Foam

Push steel wool into the gap until snug. Insert the foam straw halfway and hold the trigger for 3-4 seconds. Let cure completely before trimming.

3
Trim and Seal

Once cured, slice flush with a utility knife. Run a bead of exterior caulk over the trimmed foam to protect from weather.
