MEGA FOAM — Foam Cleaner for Degreasing Hooves and Horseshoes before Gluing
If a horseshoe is to be attached to the hoof with superglue, the hoof should be as clean and grease-free as possible. We have looked for a good solution for this purpose, because in our opinion the brake cleaner that many people like to use is not very suitable when it comes to degreasing the hoof before gluing. This is especially true if you want to use the Wolf Busch glue-on tabs. The reason for this is that both acetone-containing and acetone-free brake cleaners reduce the tear resistance of the colored elastomer on the glue-on tabs; the extent of the damage naturally depends on the duration and intensity of the exposure.
To be on the safe side, we therefore recommend using a foam cleaner such as MEGA FOAM from Tech-Masters®.
MEGA FOAM is a degreasing foam cleaner which, with its formula and ease of use, offers an effective solution for various cleaning needs — including farriery.
MEGA FOAM contains no abrasives, has a pleasant smell and is even suitable for the food industry. The advantages for us when we use MEGA FOAM to clean and degrease the horse's hoof include the fact that it dries very quickly and also adheres to vertical surfaces — such as the hoof wall — without running off.

The foam cleaner is even used in the food sector, for example in dairies and canteens — a big advantage for us in our search for a suitable degreaser.

To degrease the hoof, we recommend spraying it with MEGA FOAM and allowing the foam cleaner to take effect briefly before starting the adhesive work.

The adhesive shoe itself should also be thoroughly cleaned and degreased with the foam cleaner before you start gluing it to the hoof.
Instructions for Application and Safety when Degreasing with MEGA FOAM
The use of MEGA FOAM as a degreaser for the hoof is very simple.
- Shake the bottle well to activate the foam cleaner.
- Apply the degreaser generously to the surface to be cleaned on the hoof or horse shoe.
- The foam adheres optimally and therefore also allows a longer contact time. We recommend that you let the foam cleaner work for a short time.
- Once the degreaser has done its job, wipe the foam thoroughly off the hoof or adhesive shoe with a lint-free cloth. Then wait a short time until the hoof or horseshoe is completely dry before starting the gluing process.
You can find more information about gluing on the hoof in the sections on the various horse shoes and adhesive collars as well as the rapid glue.
