Great Stuff removal??

Scissors...

 

I've done that before on spots I couldn't get out.

 

Seriously.

I don't work without a fels bar and scissors on my hip in a cell phone holster.

Even Steve T said that scissors are your best friend!

Scrape out edges, clip out junk, unclog glides etc etc

 

Slide a recliner over it...

 

I usually have my cell phone in the cell phone holder and the fels liquified in a squirt bottle. I don't have patches or tool belt on either.

 

So you don't like the idea of having a fels bar in a little cell phone holster?
Scissors also hang right off the side, works really well.

I've always thought about doing the liquid fels thing. How do you do it?

 

I've been able to get it out before. I used two different products, (I have to check to see which ones). I agitated with a bone spatula and extracted with an upholstery tool. It doesn't really dissolve, but with solvents and agitation it will break it loose from the carpet allowing it to be extracted.

 

I was just ribbing you. You remind me of Lonnie McDonald. He's an old low moisture cleaner that used to have a bunch of tools, a couple of cell phones and a hammer on his side everywhere he went. Plus, he had patches all up and down his sleeve and a CB radio in his van.

As for the Fels ... I keep a cheese grator on my truck and just grate a handful of it up and throw it in a 32 oz spray bottle. Then I mix in some super hot water from my TM and shake it up. You porty hacks may have a hard time finding hot water though. Sorry ...

 

lol.

Just a actual cell phone on the right side and a fels and scissors on the left. That's it.

I once cut a fels bar in half and dropped the whole thing in the hydro force, it was interesting.

PS, you remind me of a friend of mine who owns a ranch in Alabama. He's super country. In Mexico last year me and his nephew finished a giant plate of hot wings and he grabbed it and said "you boys are leaving too much meat on them bones!" And then chewed all the nasty cartilage and crud off them! Gross!

Then he paid for the whole meal with his black card, super rich but you'd never know it..

 

Next time I get that stuff on my hand I will wait a day and get out a hammer. I will have to report back how it works

 

Except for the porty guys that have LGs, and diesel burners, so no need to be sorry for me.

 

screw it use the scissors or like todd said beat the homeowner with a hammer for getting that stuff on the carpet

 

Carefull! I can barely type with this stupid swollen finger from taking Todds advice

 

ok I will try to be serious for a minute. Citrus solvents will desolve styrofoam so I would try a solvent on it. See of it reacts the same on expanding foam

 

In my experience this stuff is pretty resistant to solvents. It's not like regular styrofoam. I have been able to successfully remove it from carpet. If my memory serves, I used Matrix POG and Matrix Spot Out. I don't know why Spot Out helped, but it seemed to. I agitated the area with a bone spatula and extracted with an upholstery tool. It didn't exactly dissolve, but it did break into smaller pieces that released from the carpet fibers. I think in this case your actually breaking the adhesive bond between the foam and the carpet rather then dissolving the foam.
