Blocked expanding foam gun.

[diycooper]

I have a blocked Bond It expanding foam gun what I cannot unblock. I have unscrew the nozzle and the bit what you put gun in and cleaned with foam eater but it is blocked it the long nozzle part which you cannot detatch.

Any ideas on how to unblock ?

Here is the gun I have.

Possibly soak it in some thinners/white spirit.
Failing that you could try some long thin steel rods and try to push most of it out but I'm afraid you will probably leave a few bits in there.
Can you not buy spares for it?

ive sent 2 bond it guns back recently with problems, how long have you had the gun? the only thing thats worked for me before is soaking different areas of the gun in gun foam cleaner and poking around at the ball on the end where the can screws on

The time it takes to clean it your better of to buy a new one and keep a full can on the gun and a nozzle cap on it. I use a silicon tube nozzle

You can take them all apart and remove the long needle, run cleaner through it.
I have thrown a couple of those away, problem was the small threaded collar, foam cans would cross thread themselves and release foam before seated.

The type sold by toolstation and Screwfix are far better, haven't had any problems, changed over a dozen cannisters so far without problems.
Close the valve down when not in use.
You get a small plastic piece of pipe with them, cut half inch of and keep over the nozzle, next time you use it, remove the pipe, clean and refit.
