Can I apply the spray foam to any surface?


Two component spray foam can be applied to a wide number of surfaces or 'substrates' and will make a good permanent bond. However, common sense should prevail, do not apply the spray foam to greasy or oily, excessively dirty or dusty, rotting, or wet surfaces. Products such as polyethylene, 'Teflon' and a number of other plastics do not allow bonding with spray foam.
