I bought a can of Dow water base foam that did the same thing. I did everything I could think of and I still had a mess. It never would set up. I cleaned the stuff off the target and bought a can of great stuff and it worked fine. I have used some other generic stuff in a black can from Menards that worked fine also. The methods above like Eric Krewson stated are what I use and have repaired several targets. You may have just got a can of bad foam. I Probably won't buy another can of the Dow foam.

The best foam I had used is from 3-D Country. The target will be as good as new or sometimes even better(more durable)than new. There's lots of infos and a how-to video on their website 3-dcountry.com

Shake the can and then shake it some more. Unlike some of these guys I only tape one side of the target and then let the foam expand freely on the other side. I let it dry well and then I use a razor knife to shave the excess. Some times it takes a few days to cure, but it always works well for me.

I don't cover the target with anything I just shoot it in a half a can at a time. Then when it is done I just trim it back to shape. I does take a couple days to set up good.

LOL
Sorry guys dont tell the misses but I'm on a getawat for the weekend and stuck on the wireless card haha
i redid the targets filled em good sealed them and cranked the heat in the barn to 80...took a few days but they cured up nice and tight!
Worked like a charm so the problem was moister and cold...no good!
I tested the smaller one when i gave it to my cousin and he shot it with a compound at 60# at 5 yards and stopped it like nothing!!
