I could recommend some solvents that might do the job, but their toxicity is such that when you told the EMT's what you used on your skin for cleaning purposes they'd just shake their heads and say something about the "Darwin Awards". Best thing is just let it wear off, be gone in a couple of days. Chief

Get some pumie stone soap should help a lot but your gonna be pink Also there is a Pumice hand cleaner with orange that helped. As to foam in or on boat just sand it. Please wear a mask.

Don't you wash your knees?<br /><br />You must have dry skin as it usualy falls off in a fortnight.

Well, you could prolly burn it off with a small propane torch...or maybe a laser...Chief

Jimmy I understand. Shhh I got my knee in it too but the pants absorbed the foam and got stiff, then thrown away. I was just lucky. Unfortunatly my hand got covered! That was a hot sticky mess!<br />Basicaly I had some left in the plastic can and slipped and put my hand in it. Ouch that stuffs hot, sticky, and extremly hard to get off! Pumice soap and peeling worked. It took about two weeks to get most of it.

Acetone to clean it off of the floor of boat ( you may need a little brass brush with aceton if its in the non-skid )<br /><br />If your talking about your garage floor..im sure you allready have it off by now..but you could just kick it off with your goin to work boots <br /><br />YD.

WD-40 or baby oil is supposed to work at removing foam from skin. Your calloused knees will be silky smooth too.
