  1. Put on gloves to protect your hands.

  2. Use the razor blade to trim away as much of the spray foam as possible.

  3. Dampen a rag with mineral spirits.

  4. Rub away the spray foam using the damp rag. Rub in a circular, counterclockwise motion.

  5. Dry the mineral spirits using a clean, dry rag immediately after you've removed the spray foam.

Tips

Wear protective gloves when working with a razor blade to reduce the risk of cutting yourself.

Warnings

Mineral spirits has the potential to damage paint if you over-apply. Only use a small amount of mineral spirits, and dry it immediately after you've removed the spray foam.
