Hey well I seen the other day that alot of people had expanding foam in there trucks. my father put it in the bottom of the doors and, all over basically. I asked him why he did that he replied,"oh it is for insulation."
well I dont like it in there, so I was wondering if you all had a little secret as to removing it. I know a big drill and knife works well, but something else?
thanks,
chris

have yopu tried gasoline?
i know that gas eats white styrofoam. you might try a test to see if it works on the expanding stuff, just be careful.
try it outside, away from everything and keep a fire extinguisher near by.

LOL don't try gas if your gonna smoke or have sparks. Cheap way to make napalm is styrofoam and gas so becareful. It gels the styrofoam so it sticks.
