Fix your Loose Fence Post! FAST2K fixes SIKA Failure

Fast 2K Post Foam can fix your wobbling loose fence post. In our case, barn post. We used another brand of foam called "SIKA" thinking it would be the same as Fast 2K. That is not the case. Sika foam shrinks after it cools and causes the fence post to be loose and weak. We had a choice to make. Either pull all of the posts out of the ground and start over or use Fast 2K to pour in around the SIKA. I think we made the right choice. This is a temp building so, it is not critical. Still, how good the fix worked will surprise you. We did a whole test video on "Sika vs Fast 2K" and I will leave a link below. This is not a sponsored video. I want people to know which products work, and which should not be on the market.

I had THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH SIKA the first time I used it. It was in red clay and had been raining so it was totallly saturated. A week later it was exactly like his. Headed back to fix it today.

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

Simple, easy fix for a major problem. I hope that Lowes refunds your money for the Sika you already purchased. You should share these two videos with Fast 2K. I wonder if the manufacturer of Sika knows about this issue. If I see this posted again I won't watch it twice. Another great video. Dave

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It is funny you say that about Fast 2K. Fast 2K has invited us to speak at the 2022 NFBA FRAME BUILDING EXPO. They are so excited someone has pointed out the difference between the products. SIKA has hurt the foam industry. Sika is a concrete company and it makes me wonder if they spike the foam market?

The saga continues bud. I can understand how this can be a source of frustration. I don't know the cost of this stuff but I'm sure it isn't cheap but it does have many advantages over concrete in so many ways! We have to put many 4 to 6 inch posts in the ground and are considering just driving then or reinforcing with foam/concrete. Not sure which yet. As for the brand we believe the fast2k has definitely proved itself for sure. Yall stay warm and safe, this winter storm is gonna wreck havoc on the east side of the country, all the best. Ric and Mel

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

We got a dusting of snow last night, but all is good here. I looks like you all are going to get more. Driving the post is a good solution if you have access to a post driver. I don't like concrete against any current wood post. New wood post will rot fast with concrete around them.

[@CornucopiaFarmstead]

@@TonysTractorAdventure the snow has just started here Tony, but the wind wrecks havoc on our power lines here. If it blows the power usually goes with it. Add in the ice on the limbs and tree's and now we have some big problems. The ground is super saturated here and that doesn't help. We have been trying to get a fence built for a couple years now and a fence builder I am not. I am learning a lot through y'all! I didn't know that about the concrete and rot too so glad we haven't made it that far yet! We have found some driver used for close to 1k and that will make quick work of it if we decide to go that direction, really like the fast 2k, that stuff seems to work really well! Keep them coming Tony, really helping folks out and much appreciated! Stay warm! Ric and Mel

[@jimfriday4909]

Thank you for sharing how you fixed this. Can’t wait until she’d is done.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It is done. I am working on the video now!

[@deanbarr5740]

I believe that solved the problem Tony. Like you, I'd been frustrated too. Nobody likes to go back over a job a second time.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Problem solve. Now, to the next problem. I love life this way. I would get board, if there were no more problems. 👍

[@Bodhranarama]

Those posts are just gobbling that f2k up! What a surprising amount of shrinkage from the sika product.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

They are solid not and the roof is on. I have to edit the video.

[@Bodhranarama]

@@TonysTractorAdventure looking forward to seeing that one. Tony.

[@matthewsims359]

I have never used either of these methods but I don’t believe i will ever use the SIKA stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I have spent a lot of time researching Fast2K and I have become a true believer in Fast2K. We are going to use it to build our home.

[@ap4thy1]

Thanks for the videos. Definitely buying the Fast 2k for my project. One thing to note is that Sika specifically says it isn't for structural applications, while the 2k can be.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Good point, but I would argue a fence is a structure. I appreciate your comment and faith in me.

[@ProjectsWithPaul]

Good fix Tony.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. I sure beat pulling all of it out and starting over!

[@HeartofaHandyman]

I have a post in the back yard I used Sika on for a light. The foolish thing is loose as can be and ready to fall over 🥴 I think I'll give this a shot 😃👍

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

You can leave the sika on the post and pour fast 2K around it. I did my Sawmill that way when the sika failed.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Nothing worse than having to do something twice. Especially when it wasn’t your mistake. I look forward to trying some fast2k.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I really like the Fast2K foam. It really holds. SIKA will not get a birthday card this year.

[@lincolnstovall9471]

Seems I used 2” minus washed gravel. As you pour gravels in pour foam in also? It works good your way 👍.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I didn't need anything with Fast2K. It works by itself. SIKA has failed me every time I use it.

[@reedemedadventures]

Great video. It’s been about a year, are the posts still solid or have they become loose in the ground?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Everything on my farm is built with Fast2K. Everything has gone through two 60mph winds and one 80mph winds. Solid. I love the stuff.

[@mikeheilman2560]

Tony, how deep are your posts in the ground? Looks like it would work for a building on posts also.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The post are about 3 1/2' deep. Please check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGe2lWSbirJnrMk

Nice!

Thanks!

Bonjour Tony Merci pour cette vidéo 👍 J'ai regardé en France, on ne trouve pas un produit identique. C'est 2 bouteilles qu'il faut mélanger ensemble et ce n'est pas facile. Produit canadien... Merci pour tout

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Fast2K est très respectueux de l'environnement, donc je pense qu'il sera proposé dans le monde entier à un moment donné. J'apprécie toujours d'entendre vos pensées. Merci.

[@morgansword]

Don't get me wrong as I like this channel okay. If it only has to last a couple three years, there has to be some rocks down by one of your riverbeds. I would of just chunked it in to where it would hold still. Throw a roof on it and let it be as water is going to rot that wood at ground level as they all do that regardless what you treat it with. Once roof is on it, you might have to drag it back after a good windstorm but that adds to the adventure. Once roof is up and you are a millionaire from making lumber fast as the people will purchase it. I don't remember the timber that you are working with but musta been something to get money out of the pocket book

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I appreciate your point of view, but there is no way we are making millions from this little one man manual sawmill. We are building our homestead. We worked our whole life to get to this point. We are going to use the wood from our sawmill to build our on home.

[@morgansword]

@@TonysTractorAdventure For some reason I never quite convey what I was thinking and saying at the same time Tony. I was generalizing people in general who think a woodmizer big as the bank will finance is freedom an they could not be further from the truth. I never meant you doing this as a job but more as a hobby that will involve the house

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Morgan, I understand. I have the same problem when writing. I even have a harder time conveying a thought on video. LOL!

The Sika reminds me of spray foam insulation. It might be better for that purpose, who knows? Put it on the pipes, keep 'em insulated. "Repurpose"

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I am a bit frustrated with SIKA, so take this with a grain of salt. I think spray foam is better!

[@davidjernigan8161]

No reviews of the sika product on Lowe's website?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I show 366 reviews for SIKA. Most people pour the product in the hole excited about how easy it is. They never come back a few weeks later and tell how bad it is now.

[@PaulBailey3]

I used the Sika yesterday for a bird house post and it is very loose. I have to rip it out...

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I understand.

[@Innovate2renovate]

How can this stuff still be for sale?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I am not sure. It shouldn't be for sale.

[@robvarady2625]

There is no replacement for concrete and berm packed with a spud bar.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Fast 2K is really good replacement for Concrete. It out performs concrete in almost every way. Plus, concrete will rot off post in a 5 to 7 years. New wood treatment is not as good as the older stuff.

[@brianbanks3044]

a lot of money per hole on those posts...hopefully Lowe's return policy (empty bags and lots of video) gets you your money back...also I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't get a phone call or email from Sika and hear what they have to say

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I didn't have anything to return. We put the post down with SIKA and trashed all of the packaging. This was a bought lesson. Fast2k really liked our videos showing how both products worked. They invited us to speak at the 2022 NFBA FRAME BUILDING EXPO this month. That was an awesome surprise.

[@brianbanks3044]

Your word was good “fiasco”. A humiliating failure for the product supplier in this example.

That's right.

Fast 2K is 10x better than Sika.

Yes it is!

its just improper installation.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

No. Sika is just a crappy product.
