I was wondering if expanding insulating foam is safe to use around 
coax cables.  I remodeling my basement and can cut out about 100'
of coax by going through an exterior wall.  Problem is how do I seal 
up the hole.  I put some coax cables in a can and filled it with 
Great Stuff expanding foam for about a week and the cable jacket 
looks wet but see no major degradation.  I do know that caulking 
compunds that smell like vineger will run the cable over time.  Since 
I do not desire to tear up the drywall I would like to make sure I do 
it right the first time.

Please respond directly to me since I am not currently subscribed to 
this reflector.

Thanks for all your help in advance!!
