ToughButterCup Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Treated myself to a decent pair of work trousers from local work-wear shop. At last my knee pads stay where they are put. (The Aldi version of the trousers allows the pads to float free: kneeling meant swearing ☹️ ) Up on the scaffolding, while screwing it onto the gun, a tube of foam decides to dump it's contents on my lap and the scaffolding boards. I slip on the wet foam , and sit in it. OK, calm down at the back now please. Anyone know how to get dried foam out of my knickers, my watch strap, my hands, my watch face, my work boots, my socks, my trousers. From now on... if foaming, I'm changing to the Aldi trousers. Never mind my knees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have no advice, but thanks for the laugh to start the morning. What's that old joke about asking a farmer for directions and being told "Well I wouldn't start from here..." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 If it’s set foam then sadly it’s there til you scratch or break it off .... some thinks will will need binning, other stuff can be used as urban camouflage to make you blend in at the merchants...

Nickfromwales Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Nowt worse than a new, clean pair of trousers to make you look like a Jessie . Wear your stinky pantaloons with pride. PS. PMSL. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliG Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I remember a few years ago I decided to fill some holes that were letting draughts through in my parents' house with foam. Next thing I know I was throwing out the work shirt I was wearing whilst doing it. Lesson of the story is don't wear anything you don't want to ruin whilst using foam, I don't think it cleans off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToughButterCup Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Yeah, well, I didn't expect sympathy. But even a smidge would have been nice. Photo? Its all in the washing machine: but the scaff is full of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 We had a can of foam go pop in a carrier bag .... which also had a box of screwdriver bits in it ..!! Waited until it set and then broke it up and started to shake each bit to find the on that rattled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
