| Will the foam insulation come off the barrels??? We found some at a spice company the only worry I have is they are cardboard...love that idea though...the other thought that I had was using silly string...and $tree has several neon colors of it. Any thoughts about that???

| I'd love to hear the answer to Danielle's question too. Will the foam insulation be easy to remove from the barrels later? You never know what these barrels will have to be next year!!

| I would assume that the insulation could be removed from the plastic barrels. I have used it to make a rock wall before and it did not remain adhered to the plastic sheeting behind it. However, I highly doubt that it could be completely removed from cardboard. You may wish to try using acetone (nail polish remover) to remove it. I know that it will dissolve polysterene (styro cups, etc.) but I am not sure about the polyurethane-based expanding foam. Paint thinner may also be an option.
