For cost reference: I calculated that 3-1/2" R-13 batt insulation would run about 61¢ per ft². For this spray to reach R-13 value it would require 2.3 inches in depth. That would cost $1.92 per ft². So for walls that are 8 feet tall, the cost for batt insulation = $4.89 a linear foot. The cost for this spray foam = $15.38 per linear foot. (Actual cost depends on package purchased) Your mileage may vary. Thanks for the video.

I'm an ironworker, and we use these guns all the time and I'm gonna give you tip after you clean the gun initially leave the can attached to the gun let the acetone work on the remaining foam clinging to the inside the workings trust me it may appear its all out but it isn't let cleaner can on for at least 5 minutes and respray then when you take can off don't pull trigger to release pressure let that cleanerase in the gun another 5 minute then release these guns gradually clog up and will need to be broken down to clean properly but this will help prolong that

Hi there Tad from NZ. Thanks for uploading a video with your own real experience on using a spray foam kit with cans. I have been looking to do the same kind of job and was wondering if the can approach was worth it. Great Video!

That’s slick! Thanks for showing

Thank you for this video. Only question I have is what is the final rigidity of the foam once its cured?

Cool 😎 great for small jobs 😁 I like the way it filled All the gaps and gets hard!! Thanks brother 😁

Super real world information.

Thanks for going back and showing the right way

thanks @asudavew for the math, LOL. I would factor in the ease of application, especially on the roof. Tad, have you tried using the Great stuff Professional ? I wonder if the tips would attach to that gun.

Wow, I didn't know they had a diy spray foam. Thanks for the video

great video!! thanks man

Thank you! Good DIY video. I'm trying to figure out if I want to do a scratch coat on my cabin under the R-19 fiberglass insulation. Any thoughts Taddy?

Howdy down there in Tennessee watching from Paris.

Thanks for sharing. Where did you set the regulator at when applying?

Great job thanks for all your hard work ✌️

How many cans did you use on your shed? Also what's the size of the shed?

Just curious, did you use clothes sell insulation or open cell installation because if you’re doing your metal roof, you should think about the metal roof sweating and siding so you should probably use close sell insulation otherwise you’re just soaking up all that moisture and getting mold

Does it help create a moisture barrier if used on basements walls?

Hey great video and good product! My question is, can you use this spray foam to make a walking box, for 35 F temp to 41 F

Do not have moisture on your substrate, also wear the proper PPE, any moisture above 14% will more than likely lead to delamination issues, manufacturer will tell you 18 is the highest, a professional will tell you 14, high pressure or low pressure, you want your surface as dry as possible

where's your respirator ????

The sides are fine nice and think, then plywood

Hi, for the roof, can it be sprayed from outside and have the same insulation effect?

What rating for closed cell insulation do I need for my attic

is that foam can be apply on wood like outside house walls?

Where do you BUY it at????

You did not mention if this is a closed or open cell foam

What temperature does it need to be?

How can I buy this product in India

I was going to do this, and after seeing this, I have gladly decided not to. Thanks for showing us!

You should be wearing a respirator

What does a yellow light mean?

"tip number a" 2:15

Des de Mexico tanks

It's going to get humid in there now.

Here's a video on how I installed the mini split in my shed kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8x3mtKD1M_DpWg.htmlsi=V3EXth8Ry6AOzEgZ

Spray foam give you r3.5 per inch, i don't know how that is cost effective

U just sprayed the cleaner at the door you just insulated ..also the amount you applied is useless as sprayed ..true 2lb foam.is about 6.5 to 7 r value per inch ..this is showing a way to others to waste money..have the pros do it..even a froth pack is better then this ..u m8ght aswell of grabbed cans of great stuff crack sealer and done ur shed man..

And that's why you HIRE a professional!!!

No mask?❤

Shoooo. This is about as bad as trying to teach a hone owner to replace a compressor 😅 this stuff is also extremely carcinogenic. Id wear an OV hep canister mask.. I was lead sprayer and forman at my company for like 6 years before i came to hvac fulltime. You make really good content but from a spray foam techs point of view this is no difference than home owners in hvac fb groups 😂

Clown insulation I will say + get all fumes in to your lungs… yeah why not 🙈

Obviously you are NOT a professional. But it’s ok for a shed

NGL man you gotta work on your application skills lol

Good info, but please, no more demonstration on how to spray. That was painful to watch!

what a mess

Looks chitty

Looks horrible

What a bloody mess 😅😂 don't give up yer day job 😂😂

That looks AWFUL!!

Not even close...... just utter chaos and wastage. Can't teach technique when you none.

Where did you buy it?
