FAQs

How long does it take for Soudafoam to cure?

The foam can be cut within 25 minutes. Full curing time depends on environmental conditions and gap size, but typically takes a few hours.

Can I paint over Soudafoam?

Yes, once the foam is fully cured, it can be painted over. Use a paint suitable for use with polyurethane foam.

How much Soudafoam do I need for my project?

The yield varies depending on the product, but it is a high-yield filler. Always estimate the gap volume and allow for expansion.

How do I clean up uncured foam?

Use a foam cleaner or acetone to remove uncured foam. Be careful to avoid contact with skin and eyes.

What is the shelf life of Soudal Soudafoam?

The shelf life is typically 12 months from the production date if stored properly. Check the expiration date on the can.

What is the difference between Gun Grade and Genius Gun?

Gun Grade requires a foam gun for application, providing precise control. Genius Gun is a hand-held version for easier use.

Can I use Soudafoam in wet conditions?

The surface should be dry for optimal adhesion. However, the cured foam is water-resistant.

Troubleshooting

Foam does not expand properly.

Ensure the can is shaken well before use. Check the expiration date. The surface might be too cold. Ideally, the surface should be between +5°C and +30°C.

Foam gun is clogged.

Clean the foam gun immediately after use with a foam gun cleaner. Remove the nozzle and clean it.

Foam is over-expanding.

Apply the foam sparingly, filling only about half the gap, as it will expand. Ensure the application is done at the right temperature.

Poor adhesion to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use a primer if necessary, especially on difficult surfaces.
