Columnist Sean McDonnell put this 'life hack' to the test and ran an experiment to see if this was true. See how it worked for him:
I got mine for free off someone’s tree lawn. Sure enough, the lid was hollow.
The foam expanded and I heard a cracking sound, likely the Great Stuff breaking apart the already installed insulation. No serious damage was done, but the cooler does have a bulge now.Sean McDonnell, Cleveland.com This took a few days, but only about two hours of actual work if you include washing foam and caulking off your hands.Ideally, I would have tested the cooler BEFORE I modified it. And then retested it after. The problem my editor Rich Exner and I ran into is that weather is an uncontrollable variable.
I used about $15 of material and spent a few days modifying my cooler. My conclusion is that it wasn’t worth it.My Coleman cooler, which I got for free off of someone's tree lawn, sitting on my workbench at home.Part of any science report, at least in high school, is spelling out where you might have gone wrong. And there’s a few things that might have doomed me on this experiment.My cooler is slightly larger than Rich’s cooler, so this could have affected the results.
