I'm not sure this is the answer I'm looking for / what I'm goingMy contractor started installing a soffit before I was ready, so I ended up using expanding foam as a way to chooseinsulate isolate my ducts and shaved it to usesize before it was fully enclosed. It worked, but I'd advise against using regular spray foam (like I did find these products last night) as it will expand and cause your ducting to shift out of place.

If you go this route, choose the window foam variety which is designed to be "minimal-expanding" as to avoid warping and shifting your ducts (both polyurethane and the latex varieties should work).

Alternatively, you might try a 'no sweat' kind of product I found while previously researching this, but can'twhy this answer is currently ranked at -1 as I couldn't find any studies or reviews of how well they work:

Anti-Sweat Spray Insulation 18 Oz. Aerosol Can

This Franklin Machine Products 143-1128 No Sweat Cold Pipe Insulation Spray

All are going to cost me more in shipping than the actual product costs, so I'm not sure how cost effective this would be / am still looking for alternatives.
