Duct Tape Double almost here

OK, did the wrap tonight, cut it off, but the damned tape is giving off
fumes that are getting to me. I'm letting it set outside overnight. I
haven't taped up the cut line yet.

What's the best thing to fill it with? Particularly if I want to put it on
a stand.

You might try filling it with spray on foam insulation that you can get from
Home Depot. It'll fill all the nooks and crannys easily and it sets up nice
and solid

I tried that Mike with mine. I could have used a case of the foamit! I ended
up stuffing mine with newsprint paper. The clean stuff. It was an end of
roll. Worked great. and you can adjust it to fill things in nicely.

Would I fill it starting at the neck, going to the waist? For that amount
of volume, what cost would I be looking at?

Dunno about cost, but how do you control the expanding properties of
the foam?
I ask this because the resident genius used spray foam around the
frame of our front door one year, and we were unable to open the door
until I had laboriously picked all of the dried foam out, using a
screwdriver.
Still don't know why I was nominated for that task---oh, yeah, now I
remember--he could still come and go through the back door, which left
me at home.

I seem to remember someone having trouble with that stuff - something about
it taking a long, long time to set if you fill the whole thing at once.
Better to fill it in layers and allow each to set before adding the next.

And bewa expanding foam sticks fast to everything. Protect surfaces well.

Get the cheap stuff. It'll cost you about $20. Remember to spray it in in
increments so it can expand.

Oops, you should turn it upside down and start with the neck/shoulder area
first

We started with the expanding foam but realised it was going to cost a great
deal so filled the shoulders the coated the sides as even as possible, left
it to set ( seemed an age!) the used a bag of foam offcuts to stuff it solid
after inserting a stem off an old tall wooden lamp stand (standard lamp here
in the UK) we now have a super strong at just the correct height to work
with that cost about £20. Mind you it gave us all in the house a good old
giggle well worth £20 might even so another of one of the kids who loves to
sew.

I'm just stuffing mine with newspaper. I've got a PVC pipe stand to go with
it too.
