But note that they only have those sorts of things in at certain times. Need to look out for them so not much good if you need one right now.

 

(BTW, noticed the other day that they had the IR thermometers in again. £12.99. Very handy.)

Just go to TS and get the Cox gun - better than the cheap crap that the supermarkets sell. 

Should have added it to the foam gun order! Well, at least the collection point is just around the corner.

Will white spirit not do? 

 

Nope, wrong solvent. IPA is the only thing I've ever been able to shift it with...

Think the gun cleaner is acetone based.

Yes it is, and my experience is that only acetone or MEK will dissolve uncured PU foam.  MEK is slightly kinder to skin than acetone (although there's not much in it), and both are available online for around £20 for a 5 litre container. 

 

I've yet to find a readily available solvent that will touch cured PU foam though, so it's important to clean up before the stuff cures.
