That was helpful, but what a poor design on their part, I've thrown away many almost full cans, but this tip will help...Thanks

Thanks very much for posting this help. Saves us a lot of wasted product !

[TangoCharlieAlpha]

Thank you!! That was very helpful. Not sure why they designed the can the way they did. I will try this out today.

to pull hardened foam out, easiest is to use different size screws. Also it melts with acetone, as 100 people told already :)

[Djembemick]

I just pour acetone through the tube, cleans instantly also into the valve.

Thanks. This was very helpful! The product is great. Clean up and reuse, not so much til now.

Very cool!
Thanks for the "how to".

[humby]

mine is still dribbling out even after clearing out the can side of the tube. Thing is still full. Haven't reached the acceptance stage of throwing it out yet

[gslondon]

Thanks for this. The instruction say bend the straw back on itself or some nonsense I suspect they are vague as they want you to throw away and buy again. Wire coat hanger is what I used let's hope it works

[DIYTinker]

haha... yes, and thx for watching so many videos in a roll :)

Acetone doesn't work when using Unibond Expanding Foam. Or at least it doesn't work well. It sort of turns it into a jelly like mixture which hardens into something resembling silicone. But the practical hacks involving wire and pliers are great ideas!

Spray WD40 through the tube and in the nozzle when you want to put it away. No need to disassemble anything other than taking the tube off of the nozzle. It works, I’ve actually done this and reused the foam filler.

I use acetone nail polish remover and put a few drops in the straw. But this seems less messy. Thanks for the video.

[SlurpJ]

An easier way is after you're done take a can of brake cleaner and put the straw on and clean out everything, works like a dream.

Great stuff has a new (grey) nozzle that defies easy removal and cleaning. I ended up throwing away 2/3 of a can. Any tips?

[Jeff-Stay-Relax-Play]

I didn't have wire or acetone so I used a juice box straw on both sides

[Ucanthandlthetruth]

They made sure to add "Restarting not guaranteed" as a disclaimer on the can. I had to use a microscope to read it. Love the product tho. Thanks for the video!

[sandiremson]

great ideas. now how to get it off my hands...

[p.g.]

If you go online you can by extra straws. Amazon has them and they are very cheep. Much easier just to throw away old straw and replace with new. Don't get this stuff on skin or eyes. Don't touch straw until completely dry. Shake the can for at least 60 secs before use. Just leave the straw on can until completely dry. Pull the excess out of end of straw and reuse.
