Application Tips


Foam is highly adhesive, and dried foam is very difficult to remove.  Wear gloves, eye   protection, a hat and work clothes. Cover any areas you do not want exposed to   foam.  Use drop cloths when working with polyurethane foam.

• Clean spills immediately (before foam dries) with acetone or nail polish remover   containing acetone. DO NOT USE WATER (moisture helps to cure foam). Do not   attempt to remove cured foam with solvents. Cured foam wears off and is not harmful   to health.

• Read all instructions on package.

• Make sure surface is free of oil and dirt.

• Shake the can of foam for no more than 30 seconds. Shaking for more than 30   seconds may result in less foam yield.

• Always test application on scrap material first. Release trigger before reaching end of   gap as foam continues to dispense for several seconds after trigger is released.

• Do not overfill gaps – allow room for foam to expand.
 
• Polyurethane foam sealants require some humidity in order to cure properly. For best   results, apply in temperatures between 60-100°F (16-38°C). Allow foam to cure fully   before replacing baseboards, window or door frames.
 
• Paint outdoor applications to avoid discoloration. Wait until foam is rigid before   painting or trimming (30-60 minutes).  Landscape foam is UV resistant and will not   discolor or break down in sunlight.
 
• Store aerosol can upright to avoid propellant leakage prior to use.
