Surely you have encountered such a problem as frozen polyurethane foam. Window or door installers often deal with this problem, as they constantly work with foam. But if they already have sufficient knowledge on the use and removal of residues of this material, then most people do not have sufficient experience and often find themselves in a situation where the foam gets on some surface and hardens.
Removing frozen foam
So, since you are in this situation, let's proceed with the removal. In this case, the cured foam is located on the veneer door jamb.
The first step is to remove large pieces mechanically. To do this, take any screwdriver, chisel or other sharp tool. And carefully, without touching the surface, so as not to damage it, remove the foam.
As a result, small traces remained.
The main component with which we will remove traces is Dimexide. A medicine that can be bought at any pharmacy. This is actually the whole secret of this method. The product is inexpensive and won’t put a big dent in your pocket.
We take a cotton pad, moisten it with dimexide and apply it to the remaining foam. We wait 3-5 minutes.
Then we simply delete it.
The foam becomes soft and is easily removed.
As a result, the surface is completely cleaned, despite the fact that this foam is more than one day old.
This method is suitable for removing foam from a hard surface, as well as from fabric, hands or other surfaces.
Use with caution on varnished surfaces, as dimexide may dissolve them. Therefore, there is no need to pre-soak.
You also need to be careful if dimexide comes into contact with your skin. Although this medicine was created specifically for treatment, there is a possibility of a rare allergic reaction due to intolerance to the components; read the instructions for use.
Yes, actually, you need to work like with any other solvent: in a well-ventilated area, taking into account safety precautions.
