Shed To Tiny House - DIY Amazon Sprayfoam Kit - What A Mess!

[@jasonmorgan3709]

You guys did a great job! Especially for not using spray foam before. I run an insulation company for a living. We use these kits quite a bit. These are the same kits that professionals use. Just a few tips. PPE - always wear a full face mask and never take your mask off inside the room or building you are spraying. Also, the two chemicals mix and form an exothermic chemical reaction. It uses the heat to expand which gives you your depth an R value. You should be spraying in about 1” passes meaning you spray enough foam that it expands to 1”. If you spray too thin it won’t expand correctly. You can also use acetone (or Great Stuff cleaner) to clean the gun and clean out the tips so you can reuse them. Just a few tips.

[@TheTrev4477]

Very helpful, thank you 👍

[@wesrobinson7366]

This guys knows his stuff. I have done a lot of this spray myself. you have to get the hang of spraying slower to get it to expand right. You could put down 2.5 inches in your wall with one pass. Also yes face mask is a must.

If you can rent or borrow one; a 6 foot Baker style rolling scaffold is the way to go for doing all of the overhead work. Easy to transport and set-up, they are also relatively inexpensive, and come in handy for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor building projects. And in a lot of instances, they are also safer to use than ladders, (as long as you don't accidently step off of it and land on your face).

Awesome Jared, I'm glad it worked for you. Definitely needed Jason to help, it is a 2 person job.

[@genewileyopa]

Good morning Jared. Looks good for someone who had never done this before. Now if there is a person thinking about it. Here you go, you can do it. Good Jason and Danielle came to help. That should help a bunch with insulation on. Thanks for sharing

[@kimiikins]

Just so you know, when you're standing inside without a mask even though you're not spraying it, those aerosolized droplets can still enter your respiratory system as small particles. Please take care of yourself. YOu might think you're strong but you could pay the price later in life. You showed an example of how it drifted outside onto your power banks. It's the same concept for your lungs! You're doing a super job with your shed to home too.

[@SagebrushRambles]

Not only that but NO ONE was wearing eye protection. Freaking foolish.

[@TheGreatWhiteHope209]

@@SagebrushRambles almost as foolish as caring about what someone else does that has zero impact on you.

[@xantishayde-walker4593]

@@TheGreatWhiteHope209 Yeah, so foolish to care about another human's well being. How absurd.

[@johnuppole]

Yeah, the vapors released from the reaction between the two chemicals can literally be absorbed by your eyeballs. You're supposed to wear a full face respirator when spraying the stuff. It's a great product when cured completely, BUT it's nasty when it's curing...

[@SegoMan]

@@johnuppole once the reaction takes place in the alveoli in the lungs it will never leave, I know of a painter who's life changed overnight because he did not want to wear a respirator while spraying 2 part epoxies. I saw no agitation of the tanks those chemicals need mixed properly. Doing the ceiling first would give you more pressure. Not wearing all the safety gear is your choice however when you post a video on it it sends the wrong message to the rest of the crowd.

You should apply it the same as you would spray paint. I would do long vertical passes on the walls and let go of the trigger at the ends. When you spray back and forth while holding the trigger down, you are getting double the material at the ends of your sweeps.

One tip I saw some guys do on RR Builders, is they taped the edge of the studs. After it's all said and done, just peel the tape off. Crisp clean edges for drywalling.

Looking good. Wherever you have a wire going thru a wall stud it's best to put a nail plate. Thats to protect the wire from driving a nail through it.

[@michellemorgan6295]

Awesome job guys enjoy watching your videos

[@UKCG_2]

I recommend looking up the term "flash and batt". Instead of adding additional layers of foam, you treat the first layer as an air/moisture barrier (and initial insulation) and add an additional layer of R13 pink insulation or Rockwool) on top. It gives you the benefit of spray foam without breaking the bank. Cheers.

[@billbray5995]

This is the correct process to take now, the foam sprayed has squat for insulation value, just a air infiltration stopper. Have to add insulation to get the r value needed or buy a BUNCH more foam

[@dper1112]

​@@billbray5995 Well that's not true at all. Spray foam is insulation. It insulates as well or far better than fiberglass, depending on what kind you use. Actually, even when the R value is similar, spray foam performs a lot better because installing fiberglass properly is very difficult.

[@netdude]

Absolutely right. Spray foam is about R7 per inch. Most cost effective solution is flash and batt as you've mentioned. Consider what Jared just did... he said there's about 2 inches of foam... that's R14 for $2000. Seriously, just flash it all with foam which would air seal everything... then use batt insulation.

[@dper1112]

@Robert Swaine It all depends on your goals, right? If heating and cooling is cheap, then fiberglass is great. On the other hand, energy prices are rising. More expensive options that insulate better will pay for themselves over time. If you're planning to live in a place for a few decades, expensive insulation might be nice. If you're building and you can choose your own wall thickness and insulation package, you probably want to sit down with a spread sheet, punch some numbers, and see what makes sense. One advantage of a small house is that even expensive insulation might not break the bank.

[@stephenwilliams4118]

I've been considering doing spray foam in my basement and have seen the kits and wondered if this was something I could handle , you just convinced me that this is something I could handle so thank you. I'll have to do the calculation as to the amount I would need but I think this is a summer project I can handle.

[@TheGuruStud]

I would use 2x6 walls. 2" closed cell foam (R14), then 3.5" rock wool (R15). BAM! Air tight, moisture tight, still affordable, still sound absorbing and R29.

[@C10sRule]

I’m in Canada and this is something we do in DIY jobs. It seals up well, but if people want it perfectly air tight, then they can use great stuff or something similar in the low expansion form to seal it up tighter. Tape works as well. For the minimal difference in price now, I would never use pink or yellow fibreglass insulation. Roxul, or any of the rockwool products. Higher R-values, easier to use, rodent proof, fire proof. Even if it does get damp it doesn’t lose its R-value. Much better sound block as well. Because of the design they are going for here, it could be sprayed for the ceiling only (removes the need to ventilate that space) and the Roxul in all the walls including wet walls inside for additional sound suppression of the water & toilet running. When spray is going on, & until the particulate has time to fall to the floor, keep your mask on. If you get too much build up in your lungs, there’s really nothing they can do for you. Even if the aerosol particles are invisible to the naked eye, they expand 100 times etc. all that in your power banks is likely in your lungs as well. Just trying to get it done & rushing through is no excuse to put your life,, life ,, at risk.

[@jasonlightfoot4145]

[@rdbuchli]

I also run an insulation company and we have a Graco proportioner which allows us to do high volume. I generally spray foam for less cost than the kits you can buy and that includes prep, cleanup and labor so I would call around first and get quotes from qualified professionals.

[@jpc.vitali8848]

Was hoping to see this comment. Same over here. Those kits have no control over the ratio, heat or pressure. Only good for small touch ups.

[@ShanePitzer]

I got 2 quotes for 2” coverage in a shipping container (40’ high cube) and both quotes came in above $5K. I can DIY it for less than half that. I would rather pay a pro but I can’t justify 2x cost or even higher. 🤷‍♂️

[@rdbuchli]

@@ShanePitzer understood. For a diy deal, 2”foamboard, sealed with great stuff at all joints (leave them 1/2” loose) is an excellent alternative

[@ShanePitzer]

@@rdbuchli what do you mean by leave them 1/2” loose? Also with foam board how do you compensate for the uneven corrugation? Foam board is a logical choice if it filled uniform areas. I guess I’m not picturing your suggestion.

[@rdbuchli]

@@ShanePitzer if you butt up the joints of the foamboard and tape them that’s ok but the best way to connect sheets of foamboard is a bead of great stuff type foam to connect the joints. Leaving them a little loose(if possible) allows a nice bead of foam that will move with the foamboard as temps change whereas tape may eventually come off. You can only do this in different applications such as your container since you don’t or may not have studs to nail to because that extra 1/2” would throw everything off. You really don’t have to do it with the gap, it’s just that I’m picky and I always try to find the best way and this method of connecting the foamboard sheets is near perfect. I do this when nailing directly to concrete specifically.

[@cherylroberts2438]

Thanks for sharing this. You gave a good example of what to expect in using these kits.
