Yes i was just wondering how a person can seal up these electrical boxes that you mount on ceiling to hang ceiling fans, lights or whatever. on my outside walls i sprayed nonexpanding foam from the inside watching that it didnt get int he box but i didnt do anything to my ceiling boxes. now that the house is build i was wanting to take down some lights and stuff and see if could seal up these boxes alittle better. is there fire proof caulk or anything else that a person could use so i dont loose any heat out of them. well slow down the heat loss, thanks
