I removed insulation from the sleeves of my leather jacket, because they were too tight, but I left the insulation in the body of the jacket. I cut it out by turning the jacket inside out, and carefully snipped the stitching along one of the sleeve seams in each sleeve. I then cut away, as best I could, the bulk of the insulation attached to to the lining with a sharp pair of scissors, and restitched the seam in each sleeve by hand, using small stitches. Not perfect, but when I turned the jacket right side out the sleeves looked OK and fit me much better. I found that just by undoing one sleeve seam I could work around the entire sleeve from the inside - should also work on the body of the jacket, probably best to split and re-stitch the back seam and work through that opening. No need to touch the outer shell of the jacket at all.
For cured spray foam on fiberglass, gently scrape off the bulk with a plastic scraper. Then, use a small amount of acetone or a dedicated foam remover on a cloth to soften and wipe away any residue. Always test solvents on an inconspicuous area first.
To effectively remove foam insulation from your hands, you can use a combination of soap, warm water, and a scrubbing brush. The soap helps break down the foam, while the warm water helps to rinse it off. Scrubbing gently with a brush can help to remove any stubborn residue.
A good claw hammer works pretty well.
Razor blade scraper. Micron: first answer is safest, but where a blade cannot be used, acetone will dissolve spray foam insulation. Use only in well ventillated areas because it has a powerful odour.
Leather.
The foam insulation has come off around my front door. Where can I buy more?
foam
heat the other side of the door if you can & scrap off - it does work, we removed the insulation from aluminum sheeting that way
The best insulation for a basement ceiling is typically rigid foam insulation or spray foam insulation. These types of insulation provide good thermal resistance and help prevent moisture issues in the basement.
The best wall insulation for cold climates is typically foam insulation, such as rigid foam or spray foam. These types of insulation provide high levels of thermal resistance, helping to keep the cold out and the warmth in during winter months.
Yes, foam rubber sheets can be used for insulation. They are effective for both thermal and acoustic insulation due to their cellular structure, which traps air and reduces heat transfer and dampens sound. They are also flexible and often moisture-resistant.
Closed-cell foam has tightly packed, sealed cells, making it dense, rigid, and water-resistant with a higher R-value per inch. Open-cell foam has interconnected, unsealed cells, making it softer, more flexible, and breathable with better sound absorption.
