DIY Spray Foam Insulation To Lower Energy Bill

What happens here

The host, dressed in a full Tyvek suit, respirator, safety goggles, and gloves, begins setting up the Soudal Soudfoam MAXTFOAM XL kits. He confirms the cabin is now warmed (likely by the diesel heater) and the foam kits are at the correct temperature. He demonstrates shaking the two tanks for 20 seconds, purging the system by spraying a small amount, and attaching the specialized spray tip (mentioning there are two types of tips: notched and unnotched, and he'll test both). The spray foam is a two-part solution (Poly and Iso) that mixes at the nozzle.

Goal: After acclimatization and warming the cabin, the host dons full personal protective equipment and prepares the two-part spray foam kits for application according to manufacturer instructions.

video we got our kits I got a heater here to warm up the place there's pretty strict uh instructions for temperature control uh that we're not exactly following just cuz it's kind of impossible uh in the circumstance we will know the quality of it uh if the temperature is being affected based on the quality of the foam so we'll figure that out but two-part solution here one's poly one's ISO uh these are all chemical jargons that I don't quite know about but this is supposed to be more of a DIY kit without you having to invest in a rig so all of these trigger guns are all disposable um each kit is about 850 bucks we'll see how long each one covers I'm going to follow instructions the best I can I have to uh put some lubricant inside here uh Purge the system and then connect a tip and looks like there's two different types of tips one has a notch one does not and I will'll find out which one does better and which one does worse but uh says shake them for 20 seconds [Music] all right looks like a two different colors here I'm sure this is the part that's going to mix the two chemicals together and the color is supposed to be homogeneous and kind of does look homogeneous Let's uh let me get my respirator my goggles and my gloves let see what happens
