Great stuff pro foam adhesive and finishing the loft!

[@Conn653]

Hi Andrew! I recommend adding a piece of sub-flooring in the threshold of the door into the attic. Aesthetically, it would be more pleasing to the eye and give a place to secure the flooring(carpet, tile, vinyl, etc) too, under the attic door. Then add a metal transition piece from the 'carpet' to the attic floor, similar to the ones used when going from carpet to tile or vinyl. This would help you to not 'stub your toe' when going from the attic to the loft area. Just my $.02 worth :-)

Air seal the attic door for noise created by the hvac unit. But like I said before, noise reduction like that can be done later. I still feel like r-11 noise insulation under the whole attic/loft floor within the joist space will help reduce noise and stratifying the air. Since you went with a zoned system, encapsulating the bedroom ceiling /attic floor with the insulation would help even further to prevent transfer of heat between bedroom and attic. I know your 2x6 walls are amazing and the house is already one baller of a sealed unit.

[@TKCL]

Here's the crazy part, called three cities today (including a major metropolitan area. Three different independent hardware stores, two Lowe's and two home depots. No one has unfaced r13 or r19 insulation in stock. I am reading don't use faced (paper or plastic) insulation in interior walls. Unfaced is common, but no one has any in stock. Too bad, I was going to insulate the bedroom, but can't now.

[@jonathangreenawalt5724]

@@TKCL Just buy faced and tear of the facing. The insulation guys do it all the time. Unfaced is what you want for interior walls.

[@dancharron7098]

To level that you now need a floor sander rent one at home depot. They normally for hardwood sanding. But they work nice. As for that cans rating. Temprature and unsed on the 2x10's directly would give you them results. You was adding extra lenght and them curves add to the product. So I would say it covered 2x the space it would have been used normally

[@TKCL]

Still would have made it further with 16 big tubes of traditional construction adhesive. I think they were a bit generous with their claim.

[@dancharron7098]

@@TKCL looking at you door to the attic. The floor I would double on the inside half door back as the flooring will need to have a transition at a poind. And the looks of the wood under the door for estatics of the main room.

I was hoping that floor adhesive threw the gun would be good but you already tested it for me so I trust your input, thank you Andrew📐

It's quick and easy, but my gripe is the ridiculous claim on how much traditional adhesive it replaces.

Such a beautiful and obviously well built home, all your hard work will be worth it one day Yours is the second video I’ve seen today trying out that “great stuff” product, the other guy wasn’t really impressed with it either

It's ok, but they make some big claims.

[@hendersonhow2andreview17]

Yes that "stuff" is great. We have been using it a few years on our subflooring. Great video.....looking good

[@TKCL]

It's definitely convenient, but I seriously doubt it replaces 16 32 oz tubes of traditional adhesive.

[@TKCL]

You ever had issues with it pulling apart? Do you think it holds just as good as liquid nails? I've been curious

[@hendersonhow2andreview17]

@@TKCL I use the zip brand but it goes down the same way with same gun. I think they are the same thing. Never had any issues at all. The advantec is tongue and groove so we put it in the groove as well. You can not get the plywood back off. You have to tear it all out. It shreads the wood if you try to take it apart.

[@TKCL]

Good to know

[@robertmalis4493]

Hey Andrew I agree they say you can restart the phone too easy I found that at the end of the day I need to clean the gun out and reuse the same canned the next day but I had to take it apart little bit of a pain but other than that I’ve been thoroughly impressed with all their products

[@TKCL]

They definitely make the process of foam and adhesive easy. I'm glad I bought the gun

[@av1204]

I actually did 2 x 1/2 inch thick osb in my entire house. It is 1000x better than 1 - 3/4 inch and only cost 500 dollars more.

[@TKCL]

Feels very solid now

[@ActionJackson2360]

Matt did a test video on the foam adhesive vs caulk adhesives. You'll only regret it if ever have to be ripped up to replaced.😆 Until then you should love it. Shouldn't have any squeaking between the layers. It probably isn't worth the cost for what little you will need it, but I believe they make a extention handle for those foam guns.

[@ActionJackson2360]

Just looked it up and it's a 46" long barrel foam gun that Dap makes. Good for anyone wanting it just for subfloors

[@TKCL]

Yep I seen that gun, not practical for me. Still quicker than a caulk gun.

[@brianl6964]

Should have signed the floor after. Than it would have been glued, screwed AND tattooed.

[@ShaneZettelmier]

If you’re still going to do a lot of caulking you should look at the power caulk guns. I know Milwaukee makes one but it’s just a cock gun that works like a drill and you can adjust the speed of how fast it comes out but you just pull the trigger. Plus it’s a tool so if your goal is to have them all, which it should be, you would need that one 😂

[@TKCL]

I did look at them, but 200-250 dollars is more than I want to spend on one.

[@ShaneZettelmier]

@@TKCL I would definitely want one but I would probably never spend that much either. I just wouldn’t use it enough. Now if you could find caulk that would fit into one of those battery powered grease guns that would be a dual purpose tool. 😂😂

[@mikemiller5139]

Rebuild my deck. Buying 10 to 12 boards at a time. Different thicknesses different widths, +-1/16 thicknesses and +-3 /16 width. Pitiful stuff, I am buying premium grade and it's really a job to pick through the stack to get decent quality. Not much different in quality between standard and premium. It does not seem like much but lay it trying to keep it straight, gaps and bows everywhere.

[@TKCL]

I'm experiencing the same thing with up to 1/4 difference in thickness. Absolutely unacceptable!

[@mikemiller5139]

Yeah even 1 /16 on 5/4 decking is obvious where 2 boards butt togther. Will have to belt sand some of them.

Take care Mack!

[@nicholasearly8665]

Getter done Andrew!,also the reason you think it isn’t a bargain may be because you don’t know exactly how strong it is they probably only used 1/16 of what you used per board you have been know to over do things😂but better safe than sorry I always say (ready for next ice maker video ik you’ve been busy)

Make sure you are super careful about cleaning that gun. I just finished my tornado shelter (same one you built) and ran a case of adhesive through my gun. I thought I was careful about cleaning it out, but now the gun barely flows anything. Hoping I can disassemble it to clean as I would have to throw it away Your gun is already looking way slower than new. Hopefully it lasts

[@TKCL]

It's super fast on foam, not so much on that adhesive. I religiously clean it inside and out with their cleaner. Just bought another can. The tip looks removable, you probably can clean it and and disassemble it. That's awesome you built the tornado shelter, is it in a garage?

It's not about strength as much as squeaks.

[@markb.1259]

Flooring only squeaks where the nails/screws pass through the flooring and rub on the vertical shaft of the nail/screw.

[@TKCL]

There's also popping noises where sheets shift on joists or each other. The more glue, Screws and nails, the less chance of any of these noises. Especially screws and glue

[@markb.1259]

SOLD- No such thing as too much adhesive!!! :-)

[@timothymoore2090]

The amount of adhesive you used was enough to lay 25 sheets of osb. If your using it properly it would definitely have laid 25 sheets all day. Secondly like any subfloor adhesive in a can it has to be very warm to come out good and you have to shave every cab up for more then 30 seconds constantly at a constant rate to make it work correctly. Been in the construction field for over 15 years and I can say that no none zero amount of liquid nail will out perform or stretch as far as can adhesive. Even advatech adhesive will do 23 sheets and you can even use the same can when the gun is closed even after 30 days like they say on the application. The only area that adhesive needs is every joist. One bead right down the joist on each joist and it’s solid. Doesn’t matter if you use one sheet of inch and 1 eighth or 2 sheets. Once that adhesive is completely dry it’s not shifting. It’s not bouncing it’s not moving period
