It's on everything, my fingernails are glued to my skin underneath, I hate everything and most of all I hate spray foam.

Thanks for letting me rant. I normally read instructions before using a product and now I'm avoiding the room where it's on everything... How fucked am I?

Update: We've cleaned most of it up from the room... Our hands, not so much lol. I appreciate the advice and support, hopefully y'all got a good laugh on our behalf :)

Ps. It works great as a diy wax for hairy arms!

Probably too late for now but if you ever have a big spray foam job in the future :)

Best thing I found for spray foam is the reusable sprayer that you screw larger cans on.

It's soooo much better. I was sealing up everything I could in the basement before drywall went up.

We had a radon mitigation system installed after discovering ours was quite high. The guy that came had one of these guns to seal up all the cracks in the floor

Great stuff Pro 14. It's $60 bux but is a game changer. You can store the connected can on it for 30 days it says. They have a spray can of cleaner to clean it after your done.

Can confirm, the metal spray guns are way better than the disposable cans. Their 'reusable' disposable cans had poor flow and kept clogging on me.
