Dry ice in a can, is there such a thing?


Recommended Posts

I want to quickly chill the surface of a few bricks before I attempt to scrape some glue dribbles off the brick surface. Is there product on the market that squirts a non marking liquid that will chill as it evaporates?

 

The glue is D4 foam floor glue and recently I noticed my finger nail could scrap the glue off the brick more effectively now the ambient temperature is lower than the last experimental scrapping.

 

My current plan is to freeze dry the glue and try to lift the dribbles off mm by mm with a pointed metal dental scraper. The brick face is textured, semi sandy and these bricks form an internal feature brick wall

You used to be able to get cans of nitrogen (I think).  This came as a kit, with a bit of pipe insulation, to freeze water in pipes if you could not turn the supply off.

Seems (expletive deleted)ing odd way to get some foam off, just use the correct solvent, which is not acetone.
