Waste Pipe under Kitchen Cupboards

I really hate the stuff. Gets everywhere, glues like gluey stuff, difficult to remove. Toxic to fish, looks like alien semen, costly. Builder's Graffiti, in my humble.
Beauty of something like vermiculite is, if you need to change a fitting/pull another pipe through/whatever, a quick go with a vacuum cleaner, and you are done.
But, I suppose it has its place (in the bin), and others might use it. Not that I'm biased...
Did I say, I hate the stuff?
Whats not to like with expanding foam? Lovely, useful stuff for a multitude of jobs. I know you are winding people up saying it gets everywhere, when of course it does not.
I do concede there are one or two consumers, and DIY folks, who think a hand operated can is the bees knees. All us clever folks on MSE Forum know a gun is essential and also highly cost effective. Accurate control is spot on, and there is no wastage - it saves a fortune not having to keep buying cans of foam.
Good guns have been on line at under £10 - I have not looked recently but were this price last year. It is a mystery to me why more people do not buy one.0
