Gap Filler - Spray in Insulation

I work in a factory where we make large plastic containers mostly used in the fishing and meat packing industries... and we insulate them with as similar 'foam' and from my experience: you get it off as soon as it gets on or you pretty much have to wear it off... some guys use acetone to get it off but it is definitely not good for you and I don't recommend it...

Same thing happened to me last year. Never did figure out how to get it off.
Fortunately it wore off pretty quickly, in a couple of days.

Just did this the other day. Used rubbing alcohol and scrubbed really hard with a towel and got it all off. Note: the stuff was already mostly dried on my hands/fingers. Good luck!
 
We are building a house so I've gotten Great Stuff on my hands numerous times.

The first time I got the stuff on me, I used Goof-Off.........it works but I wouldn't recommend it. That stuff is not good for you!

I finally found that using hand buffing cream (Mary Kay but I'm sure that there are other brands) then washing with Dawn dish soap and a fingernail brush (you may have to repeat the process a couple of times to get it all) works better than anything without being hazardous to your health.

If you get it on any of your clothes.....you're pretty much stuck with it. Nothing I've tried seems to work.

I used a knife to pare off the stuff, lucky my hands are calloused.

P.S. What doesn't work: WD-40, Carb-cleaner, gasoline, diesel, brake cleaner, goo-gone, peanut butter (don't ask), acetone, lava soap, pumice soap, shop grade hand cleaner goop, or a repeat application to try and soften it, then wipe (don't ask).
