Solvents like those mentioned will only affect Polyurethane _before_ it cures. Acetone is esp effective when it is still wet. Once it cures it resists almost all common solvents. A quick search on li

/Bruce - N1lN DO you need to preserve the cables? or can you cut them, and then use a roto-rooter/plumbers snake approach to clear the conduit? _______________________________________________ _______

Might be easiest, if you can sacrifice the lengths of cables contained within the conduit, to simply remove the conduit/spray foam/cables in one unit and replace the conduit with new. 73, kelly, ve4x
