Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose particles. For best results, lightly moisten very dry surfaces with a water spray to aid foam expansion and adhesion.
- Shake Well: Vigorously shake the can for at least 20 seconds before use to ensure proper mixing of contents.
- Attach Applicator: Unscrew the cap and firmly attach the Genius Gun applicator to the can valve.
- Test: Before applying to your project, test a small amount of foam on a scrap piece of material to get a feel for the expansion rate and trigger control.
Compatibility
This foam adheres reliably to most common building materials, including:
- Wood
- Concrete
- Brick and Masonry
- Plaster and Plasterboard
- Metal
- Many plastics (always test on an inconspicuous area first for plastics)
It is generally *not recommended* for use on PE, PP, PTFE, or silicone surfaces.
Care
- Reusability: For re-use, keep the Genius Gun applicator attached to the can. Store the can upright in a cool, dry place. The foam can typically be reused for up to 6 weeks if stored correctly.
- Cleaning: Immediately after use, if you wish to detach the applicator or clean any uncured foam, use Soudal Foam Cleaner. Cured foam can only be removed mechanically (cut, sanded).
- Storage: Store unopened cans upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Optimal storage temperature is between +5°C and +25°C.
