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.
BUT fiberglass batt is not a good idea for a metal shed due to condensation causing
a mold problem. You also have to have studs to attach the batts to.
I would recommend rigid foam sheets and glue them in place with
this spray foam leaving a good space between sheets say 1 1/2 inches at least.
It would leave you with a much cleaner looking job as well and WAY faster too.
In answer to this video's question "doesn't that look great?" Not really.
For cost comparison, I'm getting my 16x32 shed done professionally for $1900. Spray roof deck with 5.5" of open cell
Spray walls and gables with 3.5" open cell
Granted, you need the pricier closed cell on a metal shed.
@@JDavidsonPhotography This say it's closed cell.
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
Thank you for your knowledge. I appreciate you
@@jasong8377 I agree i am a union iron worker and use these bad bois all the time. Don't take the can off if there is product left in the can also. Just close the regulator.
They are a god send. Union iron worker here and used for pan decking.
Great quick video... most grateful. all the way from New Hampshire! Live Free or Die!... Thank you great idea after basement..to do my shed...i knew i would have extra!
FYI guys once you have the gun and tip you can actually use the regular Foam bottles they sell at walmart the big gap and crack for $3 each it works the same.
Thank you for this video. Only question I have is what is the final rigidity of the foam once its cured?
Thanks for going back and showing the right way
You bet
Super real world information.
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!
@@eagle17nz hey mate have you found a product similar to this in NZ?
Wow, I didn't know they had a diy spray foam. Thanks for the video
You're welcome my friend
That’s slick! Thanks for showing
Any time!
Cool 😎 great for small jobs 😁 I like the way it filled All the gaps and gets hard!! Thanks brother 😁
I think id do a coat that 1 pass does and just keep moving and come back for more thickness just to ensure it all cures well
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
Warm up the cans you'll get a better yield
How many cans did you use on your shed? Also what's the size of the shed?
The shed is eight by ten
I use eighteen cans
@@TaddyDigest I thought it was 20 square feet per can. That should be four cans. I understand also ceiling and door but 18 cans?
@@ronswoodshackRemember that 8 x 10 feet is just the floor size of the shed. If you assume walls are about 5 feet high and each ceiling panel is about 4 feet I come up with 260 square feet divided by 20 sq. ft./can= 13 cans (at 1 inch thickness). Based on that I'd say his use of 18 cans is about right.
@ gotcha! I was going by square only. Thank you Sir.
The best tutorial ever!
Great video! For a wooden ceiling, do you recommend to use the air chamber?
is that just a regular foam gun (like a great stuff type foam gun) and the specialized tip is making it a wide spray? if so thats awesome. i have about 150' of hvac ducts in my attic i can use this for
YES and thats a good idea
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?
It would create a nice solid barrier that's a good idea
Thank you for watching the video i'm here to help
I thought the title said Sprayman “Expert” shows techniques. When is that part supposed to start?
lol hahaha
Yeah this guy isn't a painter...
I’m dead🤣🤣
Howdy down there in Tennessee watching from Paris.
Paris, Tennessee?
What kind of surface prep did you do? I have a conex container and just curious on how intense the surface cleaning needs to be.
Thanks!
I did not do any prep work. I just made sure that the surface of the metal was not wet
@@TaddyDigest thank you! Good info and nicely done!
Here's a video on how I installed the mini split in my shed
ruclips.net/video/-fGgoRoi_u4/видео.htmlsi=V3EXth8Ry6AOzEgZ
Should you leave windows/doors open whilst the foam is curing I am also using this for a shed
yes
Does it help create a moisture barrier if used on basements walls?
yes
where's your respirator ????
will this prevent condensation?
yes
@@TaddyDigest Thanks
Thanks for sharing. Where did you set the regulator at when applying?
mid way
What temperature does it need to be?
The listed temperature range is on the can
Thank you
Is the gun reusable and how do you clean it?
yes and watch video to learn how
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
closed cell foam
Closed cell or open cell makes no difference with foam like this....
great video!! thanks man
Glad you liked it!
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.
Great job thanks for all your hard work ✌️
My pleasure!
Can this spray foam be used on car's noise cancelation? How's the sound proofing ability 😮😊 just curious about the possibility as it looks pretty light.
Excellent soundproofing
@@TaddyDigest thanks mate 🙏
What are you insulating, meaning what will be inside the shed? Will it have a heat source inside? If not, the air inside will rise or fall to the outside temperature. You might slow down the rise in temperature inside on a sunny summer day, but it will eventually be the same. And even if you have a heat source inside, the wooden supports will transfer the heat in or out, bypassing the foam insulation. Appreciate the time and effort to make the video and share your experience..
He literally says in the video
@@Easton21 Got it, thanks. My mind must have wandered away the first time through the video; I was multi-tasking a couple other chores.
Hi, for the roof, can it be sprayed from outside and have the same insulation effect?
no can't be sprayed on roof it would deteriorate
is that foam can be apply on wood like outside house walls?
yes
The sides are fine nice and think, then plywood
How many cans do I need for 24x24 garage
check the link in the description and go to spray foam website and use their online calculator
What rating for closed cell insulation do I need for my attic
r 6 -7 per inch
So i was using this for floor underneath my home, i used the B tip. But its like when i started going right side up just for a second, it would kinda stop spraying properly. Wonder if its possible, even with the tip screwed all the way on, i may have had the tip of it where it was spraying down. Instead of in an upward angle like in your video. I didnt notice but I'll have to try again and be sure
do you need a special gun to make it fan out? mine seems to just make a bead. I can adjust the size of the beam, but cannot make a spray pattern. any help would be appreciated.
It’s expensive but looks good quality
You did not mention if this is a closed or open cell foam
closed cell
Just about every foam in a can is closed cell. Even alot of the max expansion is single part cc
First time watcher here, does he normally say “tip number A”? 😂
Okay I found the red nozzles on amazon, question. can I use spray foam that is for gap filling to spray vertically.. like you did. or does it have to be a special foam. these foams by the 12 pack, prices vary. stanely has it on bonus with 25% discount for $77 buck.. it is for gap filling, so with the vertical red tip will it spray out in a pattern?
I'd say try it. You might get good results at a cheaper price.
What does a yellow light mean?
I'm not sure what do you mean
@@TaddyDigest slow down like an automotive finish
How can I buy this product in India
not sure I will find out
I’ve been looking into a DIY foam spray thanks, I just ordered a kit!
excellent
Don’t waste your money bought the 12 pack kit, only three(3) cans worked out of 12. In my opinion the cans I got were too old, may have set un-rotated in a warehouse. Either way $200+ dollars for three cans and then the gun itself quite working right and would not stop spraying. Of course ya know it’s all my fault because emails come with suggestions that IM doing something wrong. Buy at your own risk.
Would you just look at it !!! 😂😂😂😂 I don’t think anyone caught that reference.
I did lol 😆 😅
I asked 2 dudes on fb and they want 2k for my shed. Materials was 800
I was going to do this, and after seeing this, I have gladly decided not to. Thanks for showing us!
"tip number a" 2:15
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
I did. But had professional apply it for those areas. If you need electrical service local codes may call for specific details. Also whatever you plan to cool with should be installed first as the foam will form a seal. Don't forget to cover up anything you don't want the foam inside of. It's about like using a power paint sprayer makes fine drops.
You should be wearing a respirator
what is the brand name of the kit? thanks
sprayman spray foam
Just the tip
Did the spray gun come with the kit?
yes
Good info, but please, no more demonstration on how to spray. That was painful to watch!
Just staple up batt insulation and call it done.
Spray foam give you r3.5 per inch, i don't know how that is cost effective
That spray foam application looks really terrible. I wouldn’t consider it at all. Froth Pak is way better, and gladly pay more for it.
Open cell spray foam is around R3.5, and closed cell is around R6-7
"Tip number A" but seriously I bet you can use a can of brake clean and clean the gun like 3 or 4 times with 1 can but I haven't used this stuff
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..
Hummmmmm.... PPE?
No mask?❤
Guess the respirator is optional..😂
I would suggest you use a mask if you inhale that product you’re in trouble. Better safe than sorry
Yes, safety first!
Ugh. All the things I read… aren’t happening here. I read for beginners, vertical is best. For experts horizontal but not going over it several times and definitely stressed needing to have clean, dry walls. And it has an R value of 6.
get a can and try it out then you will know
Des de Mexico tanks
Tip number A ? I’ll hire a pro….lol
Air leakage is the main reason for spray foam. But that is a long story.
Dam you would of been fired as a spray for sprayfoam jaja but thanks for the info
😄 🤣
wear a mask buddy
Face mask?
mine is invisible
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 😂
Great point!
@TaddyDigest no hate tho regardless man. You do top notch content. I just have to be the average RUclips commenter from time to time 😂
@@TaddyDigest the amount of foam you sprayed isn't going to insulate much.
Would you have even bid this job? Maybe, but for much more than he paid. This shed is not living space. It's just an airtight box for his solar equipment.
@markstipulkoski1389 dude, I know. But as someone who did spray foam you would be surprised how many people do this kinda shit in their house and the chemicals don't fully react do to cold substrate and makes toxic/ carcinogenic insulation. That's not good in a shed or a bathroom additional or what have you. I even complimented the man because he makes top notch content. It's not like I'm bitching at him 😂 relax
Obviously you are NOT a professional. But it’s ok for a shed
You're right
I'm still learning
Thanks
It's going to get humid in there now.
I put a c in it
ruclips.net/video/-fGgoRoi_u4/видео.htmlsi=V3EXth8Ry6AOzEgZ
Im shocked at the lack of technique being used. The lack of skill could be made up with a little more thought into how you are spraying the foam. Take your time and apply it evenly.
Just think you could a whole lot of time, money, prep and clean up let alone avoid a mess of a job in the future when this stuff has helped rust out your shep by just using easy to fit, cheaper and 4x more insulative results by using sheet pir materials...
Who wouldve guessed?
NGL man you gotta work on your application skills lol
I know
Giving me anxiety just the way he's spraying 😂
Clown insulation I will say + get all fumes in to your lungs… yeah why not 🙈
And that's why you HIRE a professional!!!
@@THE-STEWMAKER that's right! Everybody should always hire somebody else and never learn anything themselves 👍
@@N1h1luss while I agree to learn as much as possible, a pro job costs basically the same as the diy kits. You save time, mess, and any wasted money rebuying extra kits.
@@JDavidsonPhotography pro job would of definitely costed atleast twice as much. An most likely more than that pretty easily
@@AquaTech225 Costed??? LOL
@@THE-STEWMAKER true that he suxs lmao
what a mess
Looks horrible
thanks
That looks AWFUL!!
Looks chitty
chitty chitty bang bang
What a bloody mess 😅😂 don't give up yer day job 😂😂
Thanks
Sure didn't go very far, certainly not 20 feet.
It's not spray foam, it's can foam. Can't stand when people do that. The moment you get a proportioner and run iso and resin through it you can say you spray foam 😂
Doesn't look very expert
it's not
Not even close...... just utter chaos and wastage. Can't teach technique when you none.
thanks 👍
WOW ! ! ! This is a real K I C K - A S S V I D E O ! ! ! Thank You ! ! !
