I’ll post some pics soon... I’ll preface this by saying it’s been 80 plus degrees here for a week and the kit sat in a warm area for the weekend... I have 600sqft to cover, so I bought a ‘touch n seal’ 600 kit... it covers 600sqft at 1” or greater. It’s 2 boxes, each box has a tank the size of a propane tank you typically use for a bbq pit. But they’re super heavy, I was a little concerned getting them up the ladder because of their weight.
I read all of the instructions and watched the dvd that came with, and it all seems straight forward... So I put on a tyvek suit, respirator, head cover and goggles and got after it...
Discoveries;
There are not enough nozzles supplied with the kit. I ran out of fan nozzles and the spray nozzles are meh, after spraying about 75sqft the nozzle crud’s up and you must replace it. Fine, except nowhere in the instructions or video is this explained.
You need a spotter if you’re doing a ceiling.
I missed a few places and got too thin and if I had a spotter helping me, I could have fixed the issues.
Work fast!!!!!!!! You have to be quick, no obstacles in the way, have a plan. Have a spotter!
The diy kit ran out of one chemical and continued spraying, I had no idea I was out because there was no indication... the foam kept spraying as usual. 10 minutes later the last 50sqft of foam started turning into syrup.
Oh yeah... the foam turns into snow when the nozzles start to have issues... there’s spray foam droplets every where... about half way through my goggles were so bad I had to rely on instinct and periferial vision. I even kept checking everything to be sure and I was doing everything correctly.
I called a DoW rep and he said my chemicals were too cold, that I needed them in a bathroom with a space heater on them for 3 days. The instructions don’t say that, they just say they need to be in a 70 degree environment for a few days..
I don’t have a pic yet, but I went back and spray painted red all of the low spots, there’s some areas that look great, and others like in the pics that are not so great (too thin)
I’m buying a 200sqft kit to get everything to the 2” recommended for my area, it should be enough. And after I purchase the kit, I will be at the dollar amount quoted to me by 3 pros. Lesson learned... a 2.5 hour + learning experience I could do with out. Maybe this helps you guys in your future endeavors
