Preparation
Ensure the surface is free from impurities that can interfere with this product, including dirt, dust, grease, oil, etc. Before starting the application, you should slightly moisten the surfaces, as this will optimise the curing process.
Application
- This product is delivered with a protective glove, which can be found in the lid of the can.
- Shake the can thoroughly before use (about 20 times)
- Carefully fix the nozzle to the can, ensuring that it does not overtighten or force
- Partially fill the gap, working from the bottom up as the foam will fill the remaining space.
- Any excess expanding foam can be removed whilst still wet by using the Everbuild Foam Cleaner. If the foam has cured, you must mechanically remove it or use a dedicated foam remover.
- If you're fixing a door frame, provide temporary support during the curing process.
Limitations and Notes
- Do not over-pressurise the container
- Always apply above 5°C, ideally around 20°C
- Any spillages must be cleaned instantly with a Foam Cleaner.
- When finished using the expanding foam, remove the nozzle from the can and clean it immediately.
- After the foam has cured, you must use mechanical methods to remove it.
