FAQs
How much foam will I need?
Calculate the volume of the gap to be filled. The yield of the can is on the label, which will help determine how much is needed.
Can I paint over the foam?
Yes, once the foam is fully cured, it can be painted. Use a paint that is suitable for use on polyurethane foam.
What is the shelf life of the foam?
The shelf life is typically 12-18 months when stored properly. Check the expiration date on the can.
How do I clean up uncured foam?
Use a foam cleaner specifically designed for polyurethane foam. Follow the cleaner's instructions.
Can I reuse a partially used can?
Yes, if the can is stored properly and the nozzle/gun is cleaned to prevent blockage, the can can be reused.
Is the foam waterproof?
While the foam is water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof. For areas exposed to direct water, additional waterproofing measures may be necessary.
What safety precautions should I take?
Wear gloves and eye protection. Work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep out of reach of children.
Troubleshooting
Foam is not expanding properly.
Ensure the can is shaken well before use. Check the expiration date. Ensure the surface is not too cold.
Foam is dripping or running.
Apply less foam, as it expands. Avoid overfilling the gap. Control the gun trigger carefully.
Foam is not adhering to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Consider slightly moistening the surface before application. Check the compatibility of the surface material.
