cleaning closed cell pore foam before glassing?
what solvent is safe to use for cleaning high density pore foam before glassing over it to seal it? i think acetone will dissolve it so i want to stay away from anythiong like that.

How dirty are we talking about??
If it is just dusty I would blast it with compressed air.
