Use a Foam Gun Tip Cleaner

A foam gun tip cleaner is the best way to clean your spray gun tips because this product is designed to chemically dissolve residual expanding foam. After applying the cleaner to the gun tip and waiting a moment, buildup and blockages inside the tip will be gone. It’s much more efficient than trying to scrape out the buildup yourself.
