12/2/2024 So far it's bonded well, absorbs sound and allows my structure to be heated better than ever. Here is a link to the kit I bought, NOT sponsored. I do earn a small commission but it doesn't cost you any extra. amzn.to/4fSbMHp 12/4/2024 it was 25 degrees this morning while in the blind, although chilly inside, I can tell a HUGE difference between the before and after. My little propane burner could never keep the blind tolerable on such cold days without the insulation. At only 1-2 inches thick, the foam is not cold to the touch. The uninsulated wood floor is very cold to the touch. I am about to insulate it and the door. I should be set after that, other than removing the moisture from the room that the propane furnace emits. My heat pump AC/Heater should aid in that. 1/13/2025 It is working extremely well! I did insulate the floor and added a diesel heater back. I tested the temperature difference on many 20-30 degree days last week. I can easily get the temp inside 90-100 degrees. Yes you read that correctly! Here is an update video with temps at the end of it kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqnQd6lne8-hg9E

I use panels of foam board in the larger areas and then use the spray to seal the seams/joints. Makes the money go further. No need to spray the large open areas if a panel can cover. 1.5" or 2" or 3". take your pick.

[@rogermccaslin5963]

This is what I was thinking. Also, the boards could be mounted on the 2x4s to make it fully insulated rather than having the thermal bridging of the exposed wood. I would wonder about moisture between the shell and the insulation though.

[@whateverittakes5580]

@@rogermccaslin5963 My pole barn is 2x6 construction. I use 1.5" foam board in the open flat areas between the 2x material and spray foam all seams. Then I use Rockwool 4" stuff to fill the overall voids before panelling the inside walls. Works great and no moisture issues.

[@m_cabral]

@@rogermccaslin5963 some spray foams are vapor barriers and some allow moisture to pass, which he covers briefly in the video. You just have to pick the right one for where you’re insulating. In the UK they have a huge problem right now with incompetent installers used the wrong foam in roofing installations and the rafters all rotted out. You have a 100% valid concern so you have to research before you spray.

[@RadionA-d1j]

Also the foam board has more ridgid and tough foam compared to the spray foam that comes out of those cans.

[@jefflloyd394]

PPE please. Also, spray foam is incredible insulation, BUT if the wood behind it ever gets wet it will not dry and it will rot out and cause structural failure. Never spray foam without wood protection first. Look for an EPA registered product. Boracare with Moldcare is best, but Penashield pretty good also.

[@thooks1234]

You're a brave soul to try this on camera for the first time! I think you did pretty good spraying it for your first time. I'm not a spray foam insulator. What I have done for 30 years is HVAC design. I learned from analyzing load calcs and playing with insulation values in the walls and roofs, your walls can basically be 7/16" OSB and it's fairly good. If I were to do what you're doing, I would have sprayed one coat on the walls, spraying about the speed you did at the very first of the video. I'd got a thin coat on the walls, no more. I would have put every single can I had left on the ceiling. Your major heat gain/loss is through the roof, no pun intended. Your heat is literally flowing up through the roof in the winter and pounding down on you in the summer. In the winter, you will see some solar heat gain from those cheap windows, but when the sun goes down or it's cloudy, it's no good. I love spray foam. Anything I build in the future will have 6" of spray foam in the ceiling/attic, 1-2" in walls.

[@aarongonzalez7913]

[@rosetta6285]

Propane heat also is a wet heat. It will create moisture, along with your breathing. Once you get a different heater, maybe a mini split if you run power or a diesel heater would be a great addition. They are a dry heat. Or maybe even a cubic mini or wood stove. I plan a few kits like this for my skoolie bus build. Thanks for sharing your project. Keep up the good work.

Great video! And now a few comments 1) From my training (Monolithic Dome construction), the first 1.25" of closed cell will retain 70% of heat, and will be an effective air/vapor barrier. You can add more, but when you get past 3", you're getting a diminished rate of return. 2) I have read that most heat is lost through air leaks, and it seems you have that resolved. AND, moisture penetration through a substrate is a very small fraction of what happens through a hole or gap. Meaning, even plain 4x8 1/2" drywall might allow a half-liter of moisture through it in a month, but even a small hole (like from a screw or nail) could allow gallons through in the same time. Kudos on sealing the air gaps. 3) I'm guess your square footage was close to 240 square feet, so you did better than the rating on the 12 pack if you had 2 leftover cans. 4) Figure out how to insulate the floor. Maybe get a couple more cans. 4 should do it. Thanks for the work in putting this video together and posting it!

[@cryptickcryptick2241]

A couple of pieces of carpeting on the floor can make a huge difference in sound. You can move quieter. Capet padding underneath also can help. One does need to be careful about them not getting wet. Your stand looks like it has a good door and windows. Of course, if they do get wet, just toss them on a bush and let it dry.

[@ZzZ-qd1zo]

You addressed the price difference compared to normal insulation, the need to insulate the floor, and the carbon monoxide. Everything I was wondering about. Great attention to detail!

[@renurenovationsllc7780]

If it is like regular closed cell foam, R-value does not close to represent the actual heat retention. Even with only 1” you will be SHOCKED, likely 85-90% heat retention, we had a OSB where a skylight opening was, sprayed with one inch closed cell foam, and snow melts only a little quicker than the area that has 4” of closed cell foam.

[@Burlib01]

I used to work for an insulation company and I can tell you right now unless they specifically say they added another ingredient to that spray foam, you have no better insulation or sound deadening or insulating properties than any other spray foam on the market. It all comes down to the coverage and the thickness of the layers you're laying down. Yes there are some spray foams that are fire retardant and more but most of them are exactly the same no matter what company manufacturers them.

[@richardlawrence9814]

Your overlapping way to. Much ,your wasting the material also a can of carburetor cleaner will clean your nozzle out for u

[@bobbray9666]

Foam is a terrible at sound proofing. All it does is add more surface area when exposed which acts like carpet to deflect sound in more directions. Add drywall or plywood over it and your back to an echo chamber. You need mass to deaden sound through walls. That's why mineral wool insulation works better - it's a lot denser.

[@brucerider8361]

This is a hunting blind. Mineral wool insulation would be completely inappropriate for this application. True, the closed cell foam doesn’t absorb sound but the surface isn’t smooth, so it diffuses sound waves. That’s why the foamed room sounds quieter than the smooth surface plywood. Installing carpeting to the sidewalls could absorb more sound. My former hunting blind in Michigan, circa 1998, had carpet on the floor and sidewalls. The blind was very quiet. I wish I could have installed closed cell spray foam. Congratulations on the closed cell spray foam insulation upgrade!

[@bobbray9666]

@@brucerider8361 Mineral wool completely inappropriate for this application? Why? Mineral wool does not absorb moisture like fiberglass insulation - it sheds water.

The spray foam cans are a revolution. Before you had to get those two propane tanks and carefully mix two chemicals together. If you got it wrong (and lots of people did) the foam wouldn't cure and it would off-gas forever. Nothing beats spray foam properly installed. It sticks to walls and seals away the moisture. Perfect sound and weather insulator.

I like the idea for your little blind. You could get an insulated sleeping bag and hang it on the wall where the door is. I know of a guy who died in his sleep using propane to heat up. He was hunting, too.

[@bobzotzman5253]

Sealing up the air leaks around the windows and door is almost the most important thing and then on the walls the first thermal break makes the biggest difference. I have installed thousands or insulated overhead doors which often start around R6 or 10 and then the much more expensive lines are in the R20 range. It has been my experience that the double or more that you usually kave to pay for the high end doors doesen't pay off in comfort near the door or a big saving in heating costs so if you can get that space airtight I think you will be very comfortable. By the way I live on the Canadian prairies so it gets a little nippy here mid winter.

On jobs where things had to look good I was often the one on the gun.

[@seananderson127]

Verify the engineering yourself. Spray foam can ruin a home if used in the wrong way in the wrong area. Not difficult to make a huge mistake.

[@MnktoDave]

Just FYI... Open cell foam will absorb water if there is a leak, and act like a sponge...whereas closed cell foam is waterproof. Also, you need an almost three times thicker layer of foam to achieve a good comparable R-value, if you're using open cell foam rather than closed cell foam. For those reasons, I've always thought the extra cost was well worth it, for the closed cell foam benefits.

[@JohnDoe-df2zz]

As others have said the propane heater is probably causing most of your moisture/condensation issue. A diesel heater or electric heater will probably give you a drier heat and not fog up the windows.

I run propane heat in a insulated blind, although I didn't use spray foam except for sealing gaps and cracks. I actually put R5 accordion foam down and then covered that with some fiberglass and then sheet of the interior of the studs on the lower half my upper half is just the R5 accordion foam. My ceiling has inch and a half foam board between the studs I do get moisture issues but it's actually in my experience only for the first half a day of hunting every season. Once I get the moisture out of the wood itself, for the most part my window fogging and condensation on the Windows overall goes away. My blind is only a 5 by 5 but after about 6 hours or so of running the heat it dries it right out for the most part and the only place I see any condensation is along the small gaps on the edge of my windows

[@trollmcclure1884]

I think he's afraid of the diesel smell outside not to spook the animals. And on the contrary, Chinese heaters use BS plastic and stink inside. I've just bought an electric one this week. I'll want my money back. I run it a whole day and it still had the same plastic stench. Idiots should use a sheet metal but plastic is cheap and they probably wanna kill us all anyway@@rkelly5803

I recommend an adjustable 1/2" or larger PVC steam vent at the highest point of the roof. Make a pivot pint eyelid that you can adjust because you don't want too much cold entering, but moisture to escape. Also, spraying closed cell underneath the floor outside, will trap humidity on top of the foam against the floorboards and probably rot them in a season or two. Enjoy

[@jabba334]

Just an FYI for those that want to try it. There's a video here on KZbin about insurance companies in England and thereabouts demanding spray foam insulation be removed from homes. Why? Well, there's what's called 'open cell' and 'closed cell' foam. Open cell foam is like a sponge and the humidity from inside the heated building collects on the colder wood and turns back into liquid. Thus the wood parts of the house (especially rafters) stay wet and will rot due to the foam. Now, this is obviously just a blind building, so no big deal AND this foam claims it prevents the 'formation of dewpoints' (so it's closed cell?) but I bet that very much depends on how well it's applied. But just to be safe, I wouldn't spay this in my home attic (even though I'm a big DIY guy myself).

[@rsmith02]

The people in the UK are idiots in a cool, humid climate not understanding how to renovate the buildings they are working in. They're often doing open cell with no vapor barrier. It's not so hard to build an air channel to let the roof dry out, to make sure the roof is in good condition before spraying or to just use other kinds of insulation that make more sense for a given house.

[@Alphasig336]

People in UK installed it incorrectly 90% of the time in home that are extremely old and leaky. They are meant to stay leaky. The attics aren’t meant to be tight which is why it is condensing. It is not the product but the method. He also states he is using closed cell. Which won’t allow moisture to penetrate the foam. The limited amount of time it would be used in moisture would be minimal.

[@russr]

@TKCL use regular spray foam as to seal the edges of the foam board and act as glue. The biggest problem with using those small cans is the uneven coverage, if you're not in an environment that's super cold then that's probably not as big of a deal. But when you spray it and you have sections that are 2 or 3 in thick and other sections that are barely an inch thick. It makes her pretty poor insulation in any place that's cold. Originally I wanted to use that spray stuff to do the roof on my shipping container, but the coverage is just too mediocre comparing to the cost of it and the consistency of the spray. To get proper coverage, you really need to use the larger two-part tanks, like the froth pack or less expensive tiger foam.

You could add radiant heat barier inside now , to make it warm like 5+ inches of wool But if you want to have it work in summer...use double sided one And if u want to have finishing layer like OSB or plywood etc you need to make at least 1/2 or better 1 inch spacing between radiant heat barier and OSB etc. For air gap so it can reflect heat PS radiant heat barier reflect heat like mirror , if anything touch it its like painting that mirror black....it wont reflect anything Imagine mirror with 1 inch space between it and osb and shine light between....it willgo trough (just like heat, reflecting from osb to osb all the way trough) now try to shine that light if there is no gap....thats why its important to reflect heat back to osb making main insulation work few x better ( in awerage 4inches of wool + radiant heat barier insulate long term like 16 to 20 inches of wool)

[@devinsullivan7233]

The best way to insulate your floor is with bubble foil insulation. Staple it down then put strips of wood 1/2” wood across it on top of the bubble foil 1 to 2 ft on center. Then put OSB on top of that. That makes all the difference in the world especially with your raised blind.

[@toddsadventures1889]

Looks good, sounds quieter, and the sound of it a lot warmer than the past. Good job on the work.

[@TKCL]

It does the job

[@scottkrebs586]

That definitely squashed the echo a bunch! Since the byproducts of propane combustion are CO2 and water vapor (that's all in an ideal world lol) you might get less condensation if you used the electric heater on low and turned off the propane. You're still breathing in there so you'll have condensation regardless of course, but it might help a bit to turn the propane off instead. Cheers!

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

Great info i would of prayed the 2x4 also . when they spray foamed my whole attic they covered everything up there.

[@john2364]

Now that your sealed up, Look into diesel heaters. They are very cheap but allow you to exhaust the CO outside.

[@Minuteman75]

CO monitor needs to be about a foot from the floor.

[@TKCL]

Exact opposite and a misconception. Carbon monoxide is lighter than air. EPA recommends 5ft or higher for proper placement.

Brother I'm not osha but damn a mask and glasses go along way for your health

[@twm4259]

Aerosols generate a very fine mist of particles and your lungs could become insulated too.

[@Z-Ack]

With spray foam you need more so gloves and old clothes cuz that stuff does not come off easy.. but mask? Nah. Stuff has very little voc’s and doesnt off gas any volatile compounds so your fine.. glasses are a good idea for anything because always manage to get shit in the eye. I wear em doing dishes.. lol

[@cup_and_cone]

This is only single part foam, there are very little, if any, VOCs offgasing...very similar to generic gap and crack fillers. If this were a two part mix then it would be a different story.

[@twm4259]

@@cup_and_cone The issue are the very fine particles that rain down. If you watch closely then you will see them in the video. A cotton mask would be fine.

[@BLKMGK4]

Looks like closed cell foam. I spray foam for a living. Been in the insulation biz for 46 years and have seen the insulation really evolve over the years.

[@TKCL]

It is closed cell, the proper foam for this application.

[@robertrohler3644]

Good educational DIY video. Questions about PPE when applying product. eye protection and respiratory protection? Had you considered rock wool vs foam board vs spray on foam? Thank you keep up the good work, ready for your next video. Cheers

I had but wool doesn't seal leaky gaps and cracks I have.

[@MattStamm-w1b]

Run the dehumidifier mode on your heat pump.

[@Mikp-zw3cs]

that is great, what if you come back and spray the inside with the open cell foam to add that extra layer now you have the protection from the moister with the closed cell foam.

[@stevenoe6395]

Definitely not as messy as the 2 part stuff with the hose and 2 tanks that look like grill propane tanks. Last time I did that it was horrible messy but it was a 4 foot tall crawl space. Hope it works out for you been wanting to try some of that I no there are some that's a bit cheaper good luck

[@nancywolf3786]

planning to spray foam my crawl space when weather permits. how clean do the walls need to be? my house is almost 100 years old and pretty dusty down there!

[@stevenoe6395]

@nancywolf3786 I would just broom it off maby set a box fan at the entrance to suck out the dust doesn't have to be real clean also I would get a cheap face shield from harbor freight to reduce any blow back the yellow ones with the green film that peals off. Spray foam sticks to almost anything

[@kambokong]

also adding sheetrock or drywall will improve the insulation even further. you'll be a cozy hunter

[@Maybe-So]

First of all, NEVER build/buy a Quonset - unless you're storing hay or an airplane. They suck. (no vertical walls, can't insulate using panels). It's a mistake I've already made, so I'm stuck with it. (40x40ft, nearly 18ft tall in the center) I had hoped perhaps something like this might work so that in the summer/winter the building could be used more frequently. At night, around here, humidity goes through the roof - so even at 70F, it's unpleasant to work on your car. This seems too expensive! Recommendations? Thanks Folks! (Zone 7b, temps as high as 100F, low as 20F) Thank you for the vid! Well done, very informative.

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Dont forget to do it under your floor. Clean it well, spray it deep.

[@TKCL]

Just did that and am monitoring the results.

[@autobahankrysser]

Cool stuff, but aren´t you supposed to moist or wet the substraight first befor applying, to get good expansion and better adhesion? Any way good video ^^ I diden´t even know the sold this small canister of closed cell foam.

[@kirkbrady2497]

Burning propane is causing all the condensation. You need a diesel heater. Great video. I'm going to buy a box of spray foam for a project.

[@TKCL]

I took out a diesel heater because of the noise and slight smell. I've never had condensation inside with a propane burner because it was so leaky before the spray foam.
