foam: how to remove from brickwork

[Sam Plusnet]

I assumed these post were just attempts to drive traffic over to that silly website.

Just leave it a while. Sunlight makes it go yellow and then crumbly and easy to remove.

Do you think 8 years is long enough to leave it, Harry?

Whoever put the cladding on our house years ago, sealed it with silicone to the bricks. Every now and again, I give it a little prod, to see if there's any chance of getting it off; but it's still well stuck.

In direct sunlight it only takes a few months to be totally destroyed. It will go yellow/orange in a matter of days.

Way back when, fred was asking about foam, not silicone ...

I know. I'm just gassing off about something that I'm going to have to confront soon :-)
