Is Acetone Save For Vinyl Windows?
I'm going to be replacing my windows soon. I plan to use minimal
expanding foam to fill the gaps. The Great Stuff for windows (blue can, "Will not bow frames") says uncured foam can be removed with acetone. Can I assume that the acetone will not harm the vinyl? I've been practicing trying to neatly fill a 1/8" gap with the supplied straw and it's pretty tough, even after pinching the straw so it will fit into the gap. Do I need to put foam in a 1/8" (or smaller) gap? (This is the side gap I expect since I'm told my windows will be 1/4" narrower than the rough opening.) Thanks! |
