What is the best spray foam for a DIY Cold Plunge? Plus! Foambeak Nozzle Review

- What is the best spray foam? I’m hoping to answer that question in this video through the lens of building a DIY Cold Plunge. There are several things to consider - cost, R Value, application method, etc. I will break down off-the-shelf gap filler spray foam (specifically Great Stuff 1” & 3” Gap Filler), Kraken Fastcoat Spray Foam Insulation and Akfix Thermcoat Spray Foam Insulation to see how they each perform compared to each other.
💥🔥 I am also reviewing the Foambeak Canned Spray Foam applicator, and MAN is this thing a game changer. This product worked so well that I am now offering on my site. It comes in a pack of 3 and connects to cans similar to the Great Stuff. If you want to use it with a spray foam gun you will need to cut a small amount of ¼” ID tubing to use as an adapter (I show exactly how in the video)

Great demonstration of the different foam thicknesses, and of the foam beak!!! Great performance, thank you for sharing!!!
thanks!
Joe, create content as always. Very interesting to see the R-value of the foam vs the coolers. By any chance, do you know the R-values of the PVC "insulated tubes" that products like EDGE or others are using?
thanks! I dont... but I will be insulating my tubes for my version 3 build.
On the Kraken, one inch is the recommended application per spray… you can add more, but only one inch at a time.
👍
Cool. So I think the idea would be to apply this directly to the rubbermaid tub itself, then put a frame around it? Or we would want to spray the foam on the inside of the panels we put on the frame?
Apply right to the tank 👍
Joe are you indicating to apply foam spray to the sides of tank? I don’t plan on framing my Rubbermaid container so I can move from garage to basement. Won’t the foam spray just fall off the side of the tank if not framing it?
It will stick to the tub no problem. Just did this to my 150 gallon Rubbermaid tank
The open/closed cell structure are completely different between great stuff and Atkin/ Kraken. The great stuff has a tighter closed cell structure therefore the depth can be less than using Atkin or Kraken, which need more depth than Great stuff to duplicate the same performance because the cell structure is more open.
great input!
Oh that's going around my outside ac duct
great idea!
I am attempting to use the spray foam to insulate a air duct. Will the foam stick if I am spraying on a duct in the ceiling or will it drip off? This foam stuff is impossible to get off stuff once it falls on it. Ty
Hard to say without testing it out... I'd sample a small part of the duct to see.
I have tried soudal spray foam by boring holes in plasterboard and filling would you recommend this?
You could give that a try
So how many cans would you need for the type of enclosure you’re selling on your site?
I can't say for sure, but I did use 13 cans on my latest build using a 112 gallon insert.
13 cans of what and what size cans ?
How did you go so many smooth passes with the foam beak? Mine started clogging up after the first 5-10 seconds 😢
Make sure to shake the cans, and then just work smoothly and don't let it dry as you work 👍
Will the spray foam fall off if sprayed directly onto the tank?
Not in my experience
Thoughts on pour foam insulation ?
it works great!
Buy a beak and 3d print it over and over
