General Repair Policy for Foam Insulation.
Foam can be cut with power saws or cutters and shaped with rotary tools, drills and planes. Be careful to
avoid damaging or contaminating the foam when repairing or replacing foam insulation.
When working with foam chemicals, adhesives and sealants, take precautions against breathing
noxious vapors or allowing foam to contact skin and eyes. In addition, some of these products are
flammable or combustible. Read and follow carefully all manufactures' recommendations and safety
precautions before proceeding with repairs. Wear protective goggles and clothing. Wash skin
extensively with soap and water, and seek professional medical attention should chemicals come in
contact with eyes or skin.
