- 9Pro Tip
- Be aware that success is unlikely, as construction foam is designed to harden (vitrify) within 20 minutes of application. - Do not attempt to use solvents designed for hard surfaces, as they will not work on fabrics. - Always check the effect of Dimexide on a hidden area of the fabric first.
