What should be done to fill small gaps in an insulated concrete form system?

  1. Use high expansion foam to ensure a tight seal.

  2. Use a small bead of low expansion foam to seal.

  3. Fill with small amounts of concrete prior to pouring.

  4. Scribe and fit a piece of plywood to fit and the seal gap.

The correct answer is: Use a small bead of low expansion foam to seal.

Using high expansion foam may cause overfilling and create a larger gap. Filling with small amounts of concrete is difficult to control and may create uneven surfaces. Using plywood may not be effective in sealing small gaps and is not recommended for an insulated concrete form system. Therefore, using a small bead of low expansion foam is the best option for filling small gaps as it provides a precise and controlled fill.
