Foam Insulation Video
Need to put insulation around a window or door? Try this new spray foam insulation. It stays permanently flexible. Get the correct polyurethane insulation. One type gets rigid after curing, while the other cures flexible.
This expanding foam insulation bonds well with wood or metals. It is great for stopping those air leaks between doors, windows and the framing.
Do-it-yourself spray insulation is easy to do. Just follow the directions on the can for best results. As a precaution, wear rubber gloves and safety glasses.
When applying, only fill the crack about halfway with the polyurethane foam insulation. The foam will expand to fill the rest of the gap.
One last tip, wear old clothes. The foam can ruin your brand new shirt.
