It doesn't end there.  I can't speak for the cured foam but the uncured is a
carcinogen.  Isocyanite and Polysomesuch.  I treat both with kid gloves when
working around the 'ome.

Followup ?

While R&Ring the utility covers yesterday I was reminded of you fglass
warnings.  Is there a method of removing it easily from those cutouts or
must we R&R the appliances inside?  I almost tried to pull as much as I
could reach but decided for a better approach.
