    Q.Can any Great Stuff Pro™ product be used as a fireblock for penetrations?

    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.

    Q.What is the difference between Great Stuff™ and Great Stuff Pro™ products?

    A.

    There are two key differences between Great Stuff™ and Great Stuff Pro™ products:

    Great Stuff™ uses a straw dispenser; Great Stuff Pro™ has both straw- and gun-applicator options to dispense foam.

    Can sizes are larger with Great Stuff Pro™ series, so yield is greater.

    Q.Where can I use Great Stuff™ Gaps and Cracks?

    Great Stuff™ and Great Stuff Pro™ products can be used in a variety of interior and exterior applications, most commonly in air sealing and home retrofit applications. Common Applications include:

    Electrical wire penetrations

    Gas line penetrations

    Plumping and pipe penetrations
