    Filling ceiling/floor space with soundproofing in flat

    Thanks, guys - you've set me thinking. The fire warnings of toxic gas production would seem to rule out any use in domestic indoor applications, but as I said, DG installers use cans of the stuff on window surrounds indoors. I'm going to have to get a definite answer on the cured...
