Hope this gives someone a laugh despite my mishap.
I have cavity wall insulation and this morning I decided to use a professional expanding foam gun to put some expanding foam into the cavity before I put a brick in and then rendered over it.
All was going well until suddenly, without any warning whatsoever, I presume because of the pressure in the canister, the gun exploded and foam started squirting everywhere. Although I was prepared with thin plastic gloves for the job I was dong, this was no match for the amount of foam.
I managed to get my finger over the canister nozzle, but I could not hold it for long due to the pressure. I finally stuffed the canister into a mound of earth nozzle first.
Oh what a mess. I certainly got more insulation than I had bargained for.
However, with the foam all over the place and on my hands, I could not clench my hands as my fingers kept sticking together. The wife was out also so I had to fend for myself.
Without the proper spray that you clean these guns with, how would you suggest cleaning your hands ?
I tried hot water. Cold water. Washing up liquid. Isopropanol, finishing up with moisturising cream. The latter seems to have done the best job of all I just have a really greasy look to the palms of my hands now.
