Reuse Expanding Foam Tape?

This stuff.

I want to remove the garage pedestrian door, cut out the two rows of bricks under the thresh and replace the door and frame. Being a good Northumbrian I don't want to pay north of £20 for a roll of the tape. If I carefully remove it can I recompress it by controlled carefully calibrated application of pressure? (squeezing it in the vice). I realize I will need to glue it to the frame.

It's a detached garage so there is no need for the 150mm step for an attached one. The door frame will rest on the DPM so there should not be any damp issues either.

Depends on the plastic. Temperature is also an important varible. No harm doing a test.

Best bet might be to jury rig a little tool that squeezes the foam between two very thin, angled flat plates so you can feed it into a gap (if that's the scenario). The trick will be not to squeeze it too much!
