Why does the great stuff can say to wear safety glasses?

Did you just stand there frozen for a moment? And then said a bad word that rhymes with duck? That is so awesomely bad it's almost funny.

Wow, that's a pretty huge mess! Okay, you sold me on wearing safety glasses. Heck, even getting it on your arm takes a long time (and sacrificing many arm hairs) to get off. And I have a shirt with an eternal "snotball" of Great Stuff still attached to it. Real lovely. Maybe the can should advise wearing a hazmat suit instead of just safety glasses.

Good luck with the clean-up.

Debbie, I didn't actually say anything. I stood there for about 3 or 4 minutes just surveying. And then burst out laughing because there was nothing else to do.

When the thing went off, 95 percent of the contents shot out in less than 2 seconds. The remaining 5 percent sort of seeped out and I couldn't even move it away from the desk as I was frozen in the trance . That is what managed to finish filling the screw driver case.

First thoughts after getting my head unfrozen was where the heck is my camera and I bet I can use my new ipod to record this.

I have some pictures of it which are better than the video for detail. I will see if I can dig those up.

Oh my gosh - you just converted me in a quick 30 seconds. That was scarier than the last 5 horror films I have seen. Egads, thats so bad.

Thanks for passing that on - goggles it is, from now on!!!!

Here is a link to an album I created on the foam explosion. Linky

It gives a little better detail as to what happened and what got covered.

Here is a preview pic too

I looked at the other pics...How on earth did it manage to fill the screwdriver case PRECISELY!?? OMGggg..LOL.

Oh man, it's almost too much to look at!!!

[Haunted Spider]

Debbie, I have no idea. But I did indeed hit it directly with the shot, or the final ooze out of the can as it would be. Definitely made it an Easter egg hunt to find all of the screwdrivers once it dried.

Holy Cow!!! I think I would have cried!

[Haunted Spider]

Thought about crying but then thought, you know picture documentation would be better and I can laugh about it later with friends, even forum friends. So I just made sure I didn't step in it and got my camera and ipod.
