FAQs
How do I clean the foam gun after use?
Immediately after use, turn the flow adjustment down. Screw on a foam cleaner can, then spray cleaner through the gun using the trigger until it dispenses cleanly. Clean the nozzle and tip externally with cleaner and a cloth.
What type of foam is compatible with this gun?
This gun is designed for gun-grade expanding foam sealants, which come in pressurized canisters specifically for use with applicator guns.
Can I store a foam can on the gun?
Yes, it is recommended to store the gun with a partially attached foam canister to keep the internal mechanism lubricated and prevent it from drying out. Ensure the canister is not punctured.
How long will the gun last?
With proper care and regular cleaning, the stainless steel barrel and heavy-duty construction ensure a long service life for frequent use.
What is the advantage of a foam gun over a straw applicator?
Foam guns offer significantly better control over foam flow and expansion, reducing waste, allowing for more precise application in tight spaces, and providing greater comfort during extended use.
My foam gun is clogged, what should I do?
If the foam is uncured, use a specialized foam cleaner. If the foam has cured, it can be very difficult to remove. You may need to try carefully removing it with a blunt tool or replace the gun if it's severely clogged.
Troubleshooting
Foam not dispensing
Check if the foam canister is properly screwed on and pressurized. Ensure the trigger is being fully depressed and the flow adjustment is open. Verify the foam canister is not expired or damaged.
Uneven foam application
Adjust the flow rate using the rear control knob. Ensure the nozzle is clean and free from blockages. Try practicing on a scrap surface to get a feel for the gun's output.
Gun feels sticky or difficult to use
The gun likely needs cleaning. Use a foam cleaner to dissolve any residual uncured foam on the nozzle, tip, and internal mechanism. If cured foam is present, it may be difficult to remove.
Foam curing inside the gun
This usually occurs due to delayed cleaning. Attempt to clean thoroughly with foam cleaner. If the foam is fully cured, the gun may need to be replaced.
