#Ac wall hole cover skin#
If the tech never comes back, all that is needed now is as mentioned before, is to clean the foam back enough to leave a small recess, say 1/4", not a "dished out" 1/4" but a clean, flat recess that has the edge of the cut exposed, not covered by a skin of foam, so the caulk bonds to the siding, not foam that will degrade over time by exposure. The foam does a great job of insulating around the pipe in the wall, in an otherwise difficult area to seal. The only problem I really see is the type of sealant he used as a finish, unless the plan was to come back, carve off the excess foam and use that as a backer for a good brand od polyurethane caulk to finish sealing the hole where the pipe goes into the wall. The important thing is, the tech did slope the pipe down and out of the wall at a heck of a good angle. Depends on where the indoor unit is that he had to connect to, in comparison of where the other were in your neighbors house.
