    Mmm..expanding foam - he will have to remove it with sandpaper.

    Nah there is solvents that work. Not great for his skin either, but most likely better than going the sandpaper route.

    Spray foam.. That shit fuses to your skin and it takes about 4-5 days to peel off, and the foam gun cleaner isn't any better I liquifies the foam, but instantly dries out your skin. On top of that, if it's cold outside, it's like . instant frostbite if you try to use the cleaner on your skin too . Either way, you're in trouble.

    That shit stinks. My sister woke me up in the middle of the night on my birthday to spray it on me as a kid. It got all over my bed. I ended up sleeping on the couch because the stench kept me from going to sleep

    Spray foam insulation. Incredibly difficult to remove from your hands. I imagine getting a face full of it will require a visit to the ER.

    Recently found some wipes that work wonders with this stuff and different sorts of nasty glue, much safer than using solvents as i had done all along so far. Still sucks if you get it on your eyes or your hair tho

    Ya and those wipes only work when it’s fresh and you have to actively have them. If you’re punching the lid off spray foam, you probably don’t have anything needed lol

    One brand name is great stuff- expansion foam, great to fill holes and gaps. About impossible to get off yourself though.

    Gotta assume he thought it would solidify too quickly to burst out like that and his friend agreed. Otherwise I don't see how two people who came in a work truck could do this. Don't usually see it in dudes this age but I remember getting psyched when I'd come across aerosol cans or old windows begging to be shattered at the dump but there's more than enough space to do things properly there

    No spray foam comes off without heavy chemicals. Some of it burns, too! It's like a less violent, more annoying napalm

    I'm happy for him, he got exactly what he was trying for.

    (What other possible outcome was he thinking?)

    PS - My brother did this to a can of red spray paint! Good times.

    I would WAYYYYY rather have the spray paint then get a face full of expanding foam

    Grabs skin, then starts expanding. Painful as hell for sure. Let alone toxic and a straight entry to the blood stream in lost of split wounds.
