I've never gotten any on my ferret, either.

Don't look at me.. I have had my Hootus for almost 42 years.. never gotten anything stuck on it (unless you count a crazy clingy G/F who wouldn't go away)

This thread is essentially why I read stuff on this forum.

We used some to stop water ingress in a race car and one of the drivers came out puking after an hour from the fumes.

Man, I patched the trunk in my first car with that stuff and had the exact same reaction. Ruined a decent pair of blue jeans and it took 3 weeks to wear off my hands......

yeah, this does tend to go bad quickly, doesn't it?

The only thing I found to remove it was time...

I was expecting a 'hey watch this' + flames involved

Oh, no. I might possibly be dumb enough to get Great Stuff on my hootus but there will be no flames.

I think that we have all now been effectively warned.

I was clearing the back of our yard, having a beer, cutting and digging. Had to pee. Got poison ivy on the hootus.

I was Persona NonGrata with SWMBO for a while.

A good friend is one who will at least say "Hey man, seriously, wash your hands really good BEFORE you go to the bathroom" after he's dosed your chicken wings with Dave's insanity sauce.

I remember reading in a tooner mag about how adding the stuff to the gaps between body panels will stiffen up your chassis. I showed the article to a buddy, but remember it specifically stating you MUST use the minimal expansion stuff. He failed to remember that fact. The next day, he came out and his car looked like it had an allergic reaction and swelled up...hilarious. Expanding foam packs some pretty serious power. 4 new doors and 4 new fenders on an Accord FTMFL

On a similar note when using peppermint oil in large amounts like making candy wash hands thoroughly. It goes from cooling to painful burn quickly on the more tender parts of the male body.

Just to be clear, Ferret wasn't a euphemism for my hootus. I had a Ferret named George and he got covered in expanding foam insulation once because he roamed the house freely and got in the wrong place at the wrong time. I keep my privates well protected from sticky, spinning and mashing-type things!

People like to laugh at me because I keep it in my wife's purse but it's never been lost, damaged, or covered in any dangerous chemicals.

So, uhh.. If your "ferret" got it on itself in the "chimney", why were you using it on the "chimney" ?

I can tell you about the time my father got stuck to a floor while pulling up old self stick tiles.

For those that need to know.. both of my Father's hips are artificial, so he has little upper leg strength (he had the first one done back in 1975). He was heating up and pulling off old tiles from the living room floor while mom was in the shower. He slipped and fell back, putting both buttocks onto the plywood he had just pulled the tiles off of.. getting immediatly stuck

Fingernail polish remover is diluted acetone. Real acetone is awesome, but might make people think you're cleaning up your meth lab. The foam is cross-linked PU; there aren't any nice chemicals that will remove it.

Aww, the poor old fellow!

We used to have this big, old, side by side fridge in the mudroom. After washing and refilling the ice cube trays, my wet hand stuck to the steel inside the freezer... and of course, the door had closed behind me so my cries for help went unheard. After about half an hour, my ex finally discovered me and poured warm water over my hand to release it.
Unbelievably painful when it thawed - I had a little steel contraption on my hand (which was the size of a baseball mitt) for about a week. Stupidest injury, ever.
