solvents
Hi everyone i need a lil bit of help
the last idiot owner of my beetle decided in his infinate wisdom to fill a couple of panels and the heater channels(the ones that run along the floor
pan ) with orange packing foam stuff.
one problem though, he blocked the damn drain holes in the process (i dont think water squirting out of a paint bubble that has recently formed when
popped is a good thing)
my Question is, how to i disolve this damn stuff
Help

Go to Bunnings (or any hardware store), find the cans of Expanda-Foam, and read the clean-up instructions on the can. That should tell you which
solvent (if any) will do the trick.

Acetone will disolve polyurethane foam
(No Smoking near this stuff ) the goo left behind is best removed with boiling hot water and clothes washing powder
Keeping it real !
