FAQs

How long does the foam take to cure?

Curing time varies depending on temperature and humidity, but it typically cures within 1-3 hours. Full cure may take up to 24 hours.

Can I paint over the foam?

Yes, once the foam is fully cured, it can be trimmed, sanded, and painted.

How do I clean up uncured foam?

Use Soudal Gun Cleaner or acetone to clean up uncured foam immediately. Cured foam is more difficult to remove.

Is the foam waterproof?

The foam is water-resistant, but it's not designed to be fully submerged. It's suitable for areas where occasional moisture exposure may occur.

What is the shelf life of the foam?

Unopened cans have a shelf life of up to 18 months. Once opened and used, the foam is reusable for up to 6 weeks, provided the straw is sealed with the bung supplied.

Can I use this foam outdoors?

Yes, this foam is suitable for both interior and exterior use. Protect it from direct sunlight and UV exposure with paint or sealant.

What safety precautions should I take when using this foam?

Wear gloves, eye protection, and appropriate clothing. Work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Troubleshooting

Foam does not dispense.

Ensure the can is properly attached to the Genius Gun applicator. Shake the can well. Clean the nozzle with Soudal Gun Cleaner, and if that doesn't work, try a new can.

Foam expands excessively.

Apply the foam sparingly, filling gaps about 50%. Ensure the surface is slightly damp, and the ambient temperature is within the recommended range.

Foam doesn't adhere properly.

Make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying. Lightly moisten the surface with water before application. Ensure the temperature and humidity are within the recommended range.

Genius Gun applicator is blocked.

Clean the nozzle with Soudal Gun Cleaner immediately after use. If the trigger is blocked, replace the applicator.
