how to remove spray foam from hands
Hey Steve, I've got spray foam all over my hands from a DIY project. Do you know how to remove it?
That can be a bit tricky, but I'm happy to help with a solution. Start by washing your hands with warm soapy water to remove as much as you can. However, if it's cured, it will be more difficult.
Yeah, it seems to have dried and nothing's coming off. Should I use some kind of solvent?
Using aggressive solvents could harm your skin. You might try applying a thick layer of petroleum jelly or a heavy-duty hand cleaner and let it sit for a while. It could help break down the foam.
I've heard about using acetone or nail polish remover. Is that safe?
Acetone can dissolve uncured foam, but it might irritate your skin. If you decide to use it, work in a well-ventilated area, wear gloves, and apply it carefully with a cloth to the affected areas only.
If none of these work, is there anything else I could try?
If the foam is fully cured and these methods don't work, it usually just has to wear off with time. Keep your hands moisturized, and the foam will eventually peel off as your skin naturally exfoliates.
Thanks for the advice, Steve. I'll give these methods a shot and be more careful next time.
You're welcome. Remember, patience is key with this process, and taking precautions for the future is always wise. Take care with your projects!
