"Great Stuff" is the curse on earth. People who dealt with this foam know what I mean and how amazingly sticky it is. NOTHING I tried so far will get it off my skin or fabrics. It stays forever on fabrics and even on skin it takes days to wear off. From my hands I got it on my car steering wheel and it took like two months to wear off. Gas, acetone, soap, oil, orange cleaner, all kinda paint thinners and industrial cleaners, wd 40, etc-nothing.
DO NOT get it on yourself or you'll regret it, it's that bad. I just saw this online and looks like it works unless it's a scam. If it does then it's a miracle on earth. Anyone tried it?

I have tried various removers for this. All of them ruin the fabric. If it gets on your clothing, it is ruined. Great stuff is getting better. It used to geet hard and crumble to dust ina few years. Still it is not the best option. DAP stays soft. It does nto expand much so you need more and it costs more, but it is a lot better.

Gimmick! Period.
Only uncured urethane foam is "cleanable".

If you're "putting it" in your eye- you're an idiot!

Have you ever read the MSDS on Great Stuff?
How does corneal damage sound?

moisture cured urethanes are pretty tough stuff.

best to avoid contact by using gloves and care in applying it slowly, per the directions.

alcohol will dissolve it somewhat before it's cured, but once cured, it's rather chemical resistant.
