    Re: sprayed insulation ?

    I assume you are referring to spray urethane
    insulation?
    there are companies that do that
    they bring a machine on a trailer...
    expensive and effective

    the cans are a hassle

    be careful!! fiberglass can get in your skin, and lungs and stay there pretty much the rest of your life.

    not a good thing wear protection and stand upwind, most masks leak
    just the combination of mask and goggles is almost a joke.

    I have it in my hands from cleaning rain gutters..
    good luck Nico

    Re: sprayed insulation ?

    I got a lot of the fiberglass particles in my hands and arms from insulating under my house, years ago; I did discover a fairly good way to get a lot of it out: duct tape! Just tape over your skin, and pull it off. I still use this method when I get thistle or other nearly invisible needles in me. Package tape also works...
