I'll bet your wife already has some. A lot of nail polish remover has acetone in it still.
I just looked at my wife's, and it says "100% Acetone".

I have a can on the shelf from Home Depot specifically for cleaning up spray foam "incidents". It was $5.00.
Her bottle from Sally Beauty was $1.59 (The same amount I got from HD for $5.00!!!).

Wear rubber exam gloves from a drug store when you're working with foam. They're better than the loose fitting plastic baggie gloves that come with some foam products. Makes it easier to use your finger to smooth things out.

Will try that tonight.... Minimized it somewhat by washing my hands with soap every 30 min or so.... It's beginning to wear off...

Yeah, my wife said same thing about never forgetting to put on disposable rubber gloves again (Which we DO have!)

Got some of that Insulation foam on my hands.... Paint thinner didn't take much off, and maybe made it worse... Alcohol didn't help, and soap of any kind won't budge it...

How to get it off?

Goof-Off, which has a high amount of acetone and xylene, works. I also use it for cleaning thermal paste off heat sinks and CPUs. :D

Acetone will also work, but be prepared to use a good moisturizer afterward. Acetone will dry the skin quite severely, and yes, it is still the main ingredient in most fingernail polish removers.

The good news is that as your skin naturally wears off , the foam will release .
One trick you could try is your favorite oil . Would recommend a cooking oil over motor oil . As noted in the other link , petrolem jelly also helps .
I am willing to bet you will never again forget the disposable gloves !
