Building Homes or Extensions/Tools for scraping off foam from roof

Advertisement

Expert: - 7/1/2009


Question
I've been remodeling my roof and I filled the interior of my roof with polyurethane foam, but I need to scrape off the excess foam from the surface of the horizontal beams. Right now I use a saw to scrape the foam off. I wonder if there are any more efficient automatic/electric/air-powered tools to scrape off this foam. Thanks in advance

Answer
Hi John, you might try a sawzall, reciprocating saw, with a long blade.  A large commercial razor blade scraper might work pretty good.  I think you can get up to a six inch bladed one at Home Depot.  I hope this information helps, feel free to write again regarding this or other matters, sincerely bruce e johnson..bejohnsonconsulting.com
