Expanding foam Q

Huge · 2008-11-02T13:19:14+00:00

Has anyone ever found a successful way of keeping a part used can of this stuffand having it actually work? I never use a full can, and the remaininghalf/twothirds is always dead as a doornail when I come to use it. And Icarefully clean out the remaining foam and cover the "works" with clingfilm...Irony; I bought some "fire rated" expanding foam to fire-stop the ceiling of myintegral garage where various cables come through it. The foam is marked "HighlyInflammable". (Yes, I realise that's probably the propellant or the foammonomer, rather than the the cured foam. I still thought it was amusing.)

Just curious, but what does a bodyshop use it for?

Dunno, but looking through eBay it appears to be something to do with fibreglass useage.

For a small need, try using nail varnish remover, if you can "borrow" some. I think that's Acetone based.
