Did you use open or closed cell?
Very good but isn’t styrofoam cheaper & quicker?
Would this cure my condensation problem in my garage due to my metal
roofing…It just about rains in there in the winter time when I have the
woodstove going.
Save yourself some time and go to 12:00
Or save even more and skip the entire video, this guy doesn’t seem to know
what he is doing.
Is possible to see the label of the box?? ,where to buy and how much cost?
thanks
Depending on the specific situation, spray insulation is superior. For
instance, if you are insulating a van, spray will prevent moisture from
reaching the metal and corrode. In home, the spay can fill up air-gaps,
especially around electrical outlets.
I own a spray foam business. These DIY kits are bad and I’ll tell you why.
First off unless the job is so incredibly tiny, it would be cheaper for you
to hire a professional applicator and have everything done verses buying a
kit and still having to do it yourself. Secondly who out there follows 100%
of the safety rules out there? Those filtered masks aren’t approved for
interior work, because they don’t filter out 100% of harmful fumes.
Exposure to Isocyanate fumes can have very negative side affects to your
respiratory system. As an applicator, our fresh air is pumped to us from
outside the structure. They are full face mask because even fume exposure
to the eyes is bad. So save yourself money, time, and the health hazard and
just have it professionally done.
how do you compare to 1″ of spray Foam to the fiber glass insulation, is it
like R11?
I dont like it!!!!!!!!!!
No sound?
whats the r values?
FYI, the fumes don’t give you any kind of buzz, but they do indeed give you
a very heavy chest and red eyes that burn. You even get haze eye which can
be painful, sensitivity to light and very cloudy vision. And it lasts for
days. I found this out on the first job I ever did with a filtered mask and
safety glasses. After that I immediately bought a forced fresh air system.
Oh and if you have asthma, exposure could cause a severe asthma attack.
Just throwing that out there, I’m not some big safety gooroo or nothing.
great vid… thanks!
13:12 ugh
This was a great video. I bought some two part sprat foam which included
all the right tools. this video told me what to look for, how to apply the
nozzle and problems to avoid. I finished three ocean containers with it.
Incredibly bad system! It takes quite a long time, is certainly very
expensive and is probably not fireproof either! Should we then go and cut
clean to be able to put up such as plasterboard, it is a very tough system!
you mean you dont put your mouth over it and turn in on full blast
Always a good idea to fireproof your polyurethane foam since it is highly
toxic when it burns. We have a latex fire retardant coating for either CC
or OC poly foams which will render a 15 minute thermal barrier.
I used foam on one room as a trial. I foamed it up to the studs. Result?
AMAZING!
One thing that I did learn prior to trying was to always use CLOSED CELL
foam. It will not soak up water and cause problems. It also acts as its own
vapor barrier. As I refurbish my house I will foam each room as I go.
Should drop my heat load by a very great degree. Why is it so expensive? I
would guess because of how much it saves in fuel over the long haul. Not
only that, but your home will be quieter and move comfortable.
Couple tips for you DIYers, don’t spray vertically. As you saw, he had to
go back and hit the corners of all the studs again. Its better to spray
horizontally & use your wrists to hit the corners. Start at the top or
bottom, with your gun 2/3’s over in the space you’re spraying. Slow
straight line, finish in the other corner and stop spraying, go 1/2 up
where you just sprayed your line and spray the next line. You should be
able to fill those gaps in no more than 2 passes. It’ll also cut down on
you over spraying and having to trim the foam afterwards. Also, once you
sprayed it and it’s starts to expand, don’t re-spray until it’s fully or
you’ll blow the foam off like he did @ 13:12. It’ll need a few minutes to
cure, then you can spray over it again.
I’ve been very interested in this type of insulation. Thank you for taking
the time to show how it’s done.
That hat is not OSHA compliant! You’re spraying without your hood up!
You’ll go deaf if foam gets blasted into your ears! ARGH! ARGH!
nice!
What’s the purple cover on the right side you have them flush in between
the studs look like a bit of foam around it is that a way to level it prior
to drywall
Cool video dude thanks.
