I used to work in a door factory. When we blew the insulation in the doors, now and then the "mix" would spew all over. This is the same "stuff" that you are referring to. It ruins your clothes!! As far as skin, we used mineral spirits and sometimes gasoline. Good luck to you!!

jeez, I hate that stuff. I think it says on the can what to use.
I think Laquer Thinner. don't use acetone,it goes straight to your liver.
I won't use Great Stuff anymore because the cleanup is such a hassle. just try getting that crap out of carpet.
I use DAP latex foam. it cleans up with soap and water

if you are talking about the expandable foam that comes in a can,you may want to try some gas or kerosene.use a small amount and you should be able to rub the foam off.good luck and please be safe.happy holidays.

Goo B Gone worked, Gasoline best but once dry nothing worked, its taken 24-48 hrs to start peeling, I think product should have a free plastic bag on can cup, but then again that would cost them .05 per can, I think product should be banned!

your hands Vaseline and place them in plastic gloves for a hour then take a 3blade disposable razor (I used one called extreme) and shave them, you will get the hang of the amount of pressure, next morning do the same in the shower (must be a steam thing) sounds crazy but it works. Be careful around your nails... when you get 99% off then try the pumice stone as mention above. Please let me know how it works

# 1 is prevention. wear gloves! I made the same mistake.
# 2 make sure the nail polish remover has acetone in it. If it does not it will not work all that well.
#3 most adhesives will come off if you soak your hands, believe it or not, in clean warm soapy dish water. This I found out is almost as good as the acetone and feels so much better.
