I’m sure the closed cell spray foam will provide you with an excellent water/air infiltration barrier. I am a little surprised, however, at how little the foam expanded. Chuck Cassady (another KZbinr) just did a video where he covered four important tips for spray foam success, including the right air temperature (~70 - 85F), the right substrate temperature (~70 - 85F, although the manufacturer’s recommended range is a bit larger), shaking the tanks before spraying, and replacing your tip if you stop spraying for more than 30 seconds. So my guess would be that the lack of expansion is due to the air temperature being at the low end of the range and the underside of the cabin being several degrees below that. I’ll be interested in hearing how it performs.
@corydriver76342 жыл бұрын

My mind is totally weird. I need to get out more!! At about 1:30 when you were outside and you put on that protective hood, for some reason I laughed. It made me think you were ready for the tour being in Willy Wonka! That spray foam is fantastic. You can always add on more later. I've watched a few videos where the professionals have sprayed it on thick to expand up to eight inches. One couple with kids started coughing as they moved into their new home. Turns out that they sprayed that foam on way to thick and it didn't all dry. In the attic and walls they found nothing but black mold. That couple was living outside in an RV, unable to go into their home. They had to sue the builder and foam installer because the entire home was unlivable. People need to make sure they spray that on thin and do multiple layers. The inch or two you sprayed under neath the cabin will provide a nice layer to keep the cold off the interior floor and keep bugs or animals from trying to chew threw that stuff. Once again, very enjoyable to watch, thanks. It's 18F here in Ohio. My electric blanket is on high, haha.

I was wondering what the difference was between the "Sealant" and the "Insulation" as they indicated they were for different spaces. Glad you did that and interesting to see that the "Sealant" basically looks like it covers identically to the insulation. We've got our 1st floor spray foamed, but the loft space hasn't yet been done, and the condensation from the rising heat and moisture is a real issue for us now. (We wrapped the entire home in 3/4" and 1" Polyiso foil faced sheets, then covered that with Zip sheathing (7/15ths walls and 5/8ths roof). So the house is very tight, but with nowhere to go, the moisture laden air condenses on any cooler surface and our loft roof/walls are the place that happens. I was going to wait until spring to have the spray foam company come back and do the loft, but may have to take matters into my own hands with the condensation issue being such a pain. Glad to see how well it turned out for you, even if it was a major pain.

Little or no expansion?
@50Acres2 жыл бұрын
It expands to one inch when applied correctly. When I first started I was moving too quickly with the gun

I expected it to expand more and be thicker overall. The amount that you put on - what is the rating?
@50Acres2 жыл бұрын
I was moving too quickly with the gun at first. It expands to one inch thick when applied correctly. It’s r 6 per inch.

How many square feet did you spray - I too am in a situation where I need to spray under my camp!
@50Acres2 жыл бұрын
I sprayed a little under 400 square feet. The kit I got gives you 620 sq ft of coverage at one inch deep. Once I was done I just started double coating areas till I ran out.

Why do you spray the under side of your Deck?
@50Acres2 жыл бұрын
I didn’t spray the deck, only the floor under living space.

Good job! Those kits are never easy to use! Next time, just go a bit slower and it'll be more consistent!

Ugh!!!! I worked for a weatherization company. Been under many crawlspace in a bunny suit. I absolutely despise it. They should pay $100 hr. to that.

Thanks for the view under your cabin. I've also been under my crawl space. I had a rat problem before, but now something has showed up om my three cameras in the crawl space again. Hate those pest animals. And even if I have cameras, it takes a long time figuring out where it comes from. I think it's a mice this time, and you almost get insane figuring out where it came from. How old are you btw? I am 40.

Ползать под домом не удобно, а работать еще тяжелее, но утепление пола важное дело, поздравляю.

I feel your Pain. Just Remember: In most cases, an insufferable job like this pays off Bigtime. Next time you are sitting in front of the woodstove when it is 10 degrees out, you will feel like a million bucks for having suffered on your back to do this important job. Fact.
