Often, the foam cylinder is too large to fill the small volume of voids. Often people throw away most of the material due to the drying of the foam at the outlet of the cylinder. To reuse a container with foam, you should heed the simple advice of professionals.

• After a single use, the adapter or household bottle with a straw must be placed on the bottom and left in this position. A container can be placed under the straw to collect the remaining foam. When complete solidification occurs, the tube is disconnected from the cylinder and the dried foam is removed using a long wire. The remaining polymer can then be reused.
