Gaps & Cracks Foam Sealant Contractor Kit

• Mist with water to speed cure.
• Trim cured foam with serrated blade.
• Any uncured product that gets on the skin can be removed with acetone.
• If applied outdoors, be sure to paint or cover foam to prevent discoloration and UV damage.
• GREAT STUFF PRO™ Polyurethane Foams may be reused for up to 30 days when left attached to the applicator gun and when following proper storage procedures.
• Shake can vigorously for a minimum of 60 seconds. Tightly secure the can onto the gun before opening the valve to ensure that the can is properly threaded onto the gun basket to prevent leaks. With the can secured, set your desired bead size by adjusting the flow control knob on the back of the gun (bead can be adjusted from 1/8"-3"). Then, pull the trigger to fill the gun with foam, dispensing excess foam into an appropriate waste receptacle. Lastly, test the bead size before applying.
• Best results if used when product temperature ranges from 60-90°F (15-32°C). The can should not be exposed to temperatures more than 120°F. Cured foam should not be exposed to temperatures in excess of 240°F.
• Store upright with a foam dispensing gun attached.
• When applying Great Stuff™ Polyurethane Foam, make sure to wear PPE, including proper eye protection, gloves, and long sleeve clothing.
• Extinguish any open flames before applying foam

Q.How do I get Great Stuff™ foam off of my skin?

A.

If the foam has not cured or hardened, use fingernail polish remover (with acetone); a polyglycol-based skin cleanser or corn oil may be effective. Then wash with soap and plenty of water. If the foam has hardened, there is no solvent that will remove it. It will not harm your skin and will wear off over time. To remove cured foam from skin, use a pumice stone (available at most drug stores) and warm, soapy water. Then apply petroleum jelly.
