Spray Foam Off

Spray Foam Off


This is too good to keep to myself. You know that Great Stuff spray-foam that you can use for everything from filling cracks to making costumes, but it's terminally sticky, and the directions say there's no way to get it off? I leaned up against some of it in a new pair of shorts that immediately became a rather stiff pair of grungy work shorts.



A couple of weeks later I wore the shorts while I used aerosol stripper on a painted wooden tray, and I splattered stripper on the shorts. The stripper ate holes in the hardened foam, so I figured what the hell? I just sprayed more stripper on the shorts and used steel wool to scrape off the thickest foam. The rest of it I wiped off with a clean rag and a few more blasts of stripper. The shorts aren't perfect, but there's hardly any foam left in the fabric.



I wouldn't recommend it from a medical point of view, but a little stripper on a paper towel will take it off of skin in a flash. Up until this, I've always gone around wearing it until it peeled off. Klean-strip aerosol stripper. Works, and they aren't even paying me. Hmmm, maybe I should give that some thought.
