Mantle bolts
Here's how I embedded some bolts in the ICCF for later use to hold the fireplace mantle and the ledger boards for the stairway landing, etc. First, use a hole saw to drill out a piece of foam. Insert the bolt in the center of the cutout.
Squirt a little foam on the bolt to hold it in place.
Foam the cut out back in place. I later shot some more foam over the exposed end of the bolt to ensure that the concrete falling down into the form wouldn't dislodge the bolt. The foam is later pulled away.
