grats on the volcano! The foil doesn't matter. Its there to insulate the bottle so you can get it out. You can leave it/take some out. Nothing to worry about. whatever is easiest.

It gets a cola stickiness to it. But the Great Stuff doesn't get soggy or sticky. It holds its solid form.

@abidingallen Yes, but you have to paint it really well and stuff it tight with newspapers, otherwise the cardboard gets soaked and falls apart!

@nastypupp Hi, good luck! Yes i think a couple of layers of cardboard might be ok. Try to seal it with something so it doesnt get soggy. I used acrylic paints. Just got to seal it with something too.

@yujinx3 This is a good question and I am not sure. I know that with a few uses the paint didn't wash off this volcano. You might be ok, but it will really depend on the exact type of paint. You could do a test by painting something small, letting it dry then pouring diet coke on it. Then you would know for sure.

Hi, You can get Great Stuff at any building supply store, hardware store, Lowes, Home Depot etc. Its an insulating material. You can use Regular Coke, Diet Pepsi or Regular pepsi. Doesn't have to be diet coke. Diet coke is best only because its not so sticky.

I've even found it or "Expanding insulation foam" at Wal-Mart in the paint and hardware section. (For when you need to build your volcano at 3 AM and no place else is open). Once it's dry, you can use a hot-knife/foam cutter to shape the volcano a bit more if you like. I'm wondering how much soda you need for this. It would be cool if you could place a pipe at the back to drop the Mentos in through so you don't have to rush in and out of the shot.

MythBusters concluded that the caffeine, potassium benzoate, aspartame, and CO2 gas contained in the Diet Coke and the gelatin and gum arabic ingredients of the Mentos all contribute to the jet effect

Because you are south of the equator you have to put the volcano upside down for it to work. LOL! Just kidding. I am not sure why it won't work. has to be a difference in the product. I am guessing its something in the diet coke. Try regular coke. That works too but is stickier so I go with the diet coke, less sugar is less sticky mess.
