Thanks for the video. I was thinking the same thing, it does appear to be messier. Multiple times when you sprayed it on, it looks like globs didn't adhere, and fell to the floor (hopefully onto some type of tarp!). I was wondering if it's basically "Great Stuff" (crack filler) with a fan applicator. I looked up the R-values: - These cans have an R-value of 4.37 per inch - The Froth/Dap 2-part have an R-value of 6.6 per inch - Great Stuff looks to be 3.x per inch (one place said 3.7; but others said since it's not listed on the can, it's probably lower (ie. 3.0)) I'm looking to insulate two ~5' exterior walls for a bathroom. 8' high, so ~80sqft. I'm leaning toward foam board, which can be R13.2 for 2". I don't think I have any protrusions in the walls (pipes, cables), so I'm thinking I can cut the boards to fit, and then then use Great Stuff to seal the gaps. IMHO, too small an area to try to learn how to work a spray foam system, and hope to get it right. [And probably way too small for a professional to come in and do it at a competitive price.]
If you have a big project then yes I understand but I had a 150 sq ft ceiling in shed and didn't need an 800$+ spray foam kit so the cans worked great for smaller project. So much more affordable.
For my current project, foam does not seem cost effective based of the R value for 2x4 walls. So you're going to flip the house and not keep it as a primary residence? Looks like someone will be buying a really nice place. I'm not sure the Land Bank contractors that do the houses for the Rehabbed & Ready pay as much attention to details.
Thank you!! I have an old house and couldn't find anything on spray foam for smaller projects. The prices seem reasonable at first glance.
I seen this house online it’s absolutely beautiful

I need to do 1 bay, first can did good certainly for what im going to do.
Can this be used on an outdoor deck box?
I have my water softener in the deck box and want to insulate the deck box for winter.

Absolutely not I agree with what you said entirely
Thanks for this video
