Not much to do except scrape it off and repaint. I once had a homeowner do that to $60,000 worth of Anderson windows. Not only does it get all over everything but sometimes it swells against the jamb and prevents the door/window from operating properly. This stuff should be used sparingly-it works very well, but should come with warnings other than the obvious ones. Sorry but...scrape away and spread the word. Good luck!!

Assuming this is an operational problem and not a final finish problem, let the foam cure.(obviously it has 19hrs later) At the points the door rubs the jamb, fold the weather stripping back and countersink a 2 1/2 inch screw.Draw it down to create a nominal margin. your weather stripping should hide the screw when released. Repeat as needed. If the screws don`t compress the foam, you may have to run a sawblade down the side to relieve the foam enough to move the jamb. But I really don`t see this becoming a problem. Next time use a nonexpanding foam. Should say for doors and windows.

After scraping off the majority, try using a very fine sanding block to remove the DRY foam? It will take a lot longer but it should remove the excess foam without damaging the door. Foam must be completely dry.

There is door and window foam that doesnt expand as much, but even that stuff will leave yellow stains on stuff if you are not careful...I used some around a sliding door, and removed the excess with a razor, but i am still going to have to paint

You should be able to pull off most of the foam by hand, time consuming but it will save the finish. Once you have only small patches, you can try warm water and a gentle scouring pad such as you would use on Teflon pots. Next time, try putting in the foam before you mount the door.

Use a knife, razor or a saw. try wrapping the edge,that is hitting the door, with tape.
Hope this helps.

Look on the can you used. It should tell you.
Otherwise, use a razor blade.
