What are the limitations of this product?

Troubleshooting
Foam is not expanding.
Check the can's expiry date. Ensure the can is at the correct temperature (between +5 to +30°C). Shake the can vigorously before use.
Foam is expanding too much.
Apply the foam in layers, allowing each layer to partially cure before adding the next. Ensure you are not overfilling the gap.
Foam is not adhering to the surface.
Make sure the surface is clean and free of dust, grease, and loose particles. Lightly moisten the surface before application.
Foam is difficult to cut or trim.
Allow the foam to fully cure before trimming. Use a sharp knife to avoid tearing.
