Spray Insulation

[jawja clay]

i need to insulate my metal work shop. Thinking about trying to spray close cell foam. Has anyone ever done it themself? Suggestions and feedback are welcome.

Dow Froth Pack is a good DIY set up.

CLosed cell works very nice for shop buildings. A litle pricey but worth it in the long run

I am in for answer. I have a metal building built in the 70's that the insulation is falling apart and it needs to be re-insulated.

How difficult is it to apply? Any suggestions on applying?

We have a system for we use in our vault room construction but for a shop area I would just try and locate a contractor that does spray foam

I got a estimate but it's out of my budget. That's why I wanted to buy the materials and do it myself. The videos I've watched make it look easy. I'm wondering if it's really that easy.

The system we use is a little different. It uses a high pressure dual tube "caulk gun" for lack of better description and sprays a 2 component mixture. It is relatively easy to use and cost effective for what we do. Requires a big air compressor

When I looked at the DiY kits and the coverage they had it would have cost more than a contractor. We had our attic done and it was a huge difference. It wasn't cheap but it would have cost me more to diy as they put it on thicker and had it done in a day.
