FAQs
How long does the foam take to cure?
Curing time varies depending on the conditions, but it typically takes a few hours to fully cure. Check the product label for specific recommendations.
Can I paint over the foam?
Yes, once the foam is fully cured, it can be cut, sanded, plastered, and painted.
What is the shelf life of the foam?
Check the expiration date on the can. Unopened cans typically have a shelf life of several months to a year when stored properly.
Is the foam waterproof?
The foam is water-resistant, making it suitable for many indoor and outdoor applications. However, it is not designed for continuous submersion.
How do I clean the Genius Gun applicator?
Clean the applicator immediately after use by attaching the bung. Use a solvent specifically designed for polyurethane foam if necessary.
Can I reuse the foam can?

What safety precautions should I take when using the foam?
Always work in a well-ventilated area. Wear gloves and eye protection. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
Troubleshooting
Foam does not expand properly.
Ensure the can is shaken well before use. Check the expiration date. The temperature may be too low; ensure the can and the application area are within the recommended temperature range.
Foam sticks to surfaces that it shouldn't.
Apply masking tape to the surrounding areas to protect them from accidental foam contact. Remove any uncured foam with a solvent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and loose particles. For best results, slightly moisten the surfaces before applying the foam.
Application: Attach the Genius Gun applicator to the foam can. Shake the can well before use. Apply the foam to the gap, filling it approximately halfway, as the foam will expand.
Curing: Allow the foam to cure completely. The curing time will vary depending on temperature and humidity, but typically takes several hours.
Trimming: Once cured, trim any excess foam with a sharp knife.
Compatibility: Compatible with most building materials. Always test in an inconspicuous area first if unsure. Avoid contact with sensitive materials.
Care: Store the can upright in a cool, dry place. After use, attach the bung to the applicator to preserve the remaining foam for up to 6 weeks.
