Can i remove “great Stuff” from a sealed door?
Mary M, My money plays that he didn’t use the “Door & Window” type of great stuff and the expansion of the type he did use is binding the door due to its pushing the jamb into it. Now you can cut, chip and peel this out, but the most efficient way to remedy it, since the jamb and door will likely have to be reset or rehung, is to remove the interior casing and any exterior brick molding or trim. Now if you can get a saw-zall with a 9″ bi-metal blade, poke it through the foam in what was the gap, and cut the foam and fasteners free. Remove the door and frame intact and clear away all the remaining foam from the opening and the doors frame. Replace the door and frame in the opening, shim and fasten it into place, re-install the interior casing, and then fill the voids with the “Door & Window” version of Great Stuff. Once the foam has cured trim away any excess and reinstall your exterior trim. Mike Lonergan TradesProfessional, Inc. h
