Hi Gordo, Interesting. So there is more insulation work in the midwest than where you were in Canada? I am surprised. Based on the climate, I thought there would be more demand. Also, I thought Canada had some national legislation that mandated higher energy efficiency that we don't have here in the USA? I would think foam would be perfect for this? Nice to hear your opinions on this, because I always assumed that Canada would be a foamer's paradise? Brian www.roofcrafterswest.com |

Hey Luke , I'm from Kingston ,Ontario, Canada. Email me if you have any ideas on how to spray a flatter surface. Are my Temp to high on the machine. I run a E-20 by Graco. My hose heaters are set at 105 degrees. And the pressure is at at 1100 - 1400 psi. I find the closer i get to the substrate it gets worse. I never said i was an expert at this but, this is ridiculus. I can sell this stuff like it's going out of style. But to spray it is another story. Please help. email me at bdkfoaminsulation@yahoo.ca |

The "more work in the US" is in coatings and roofing for agriculture. Definitely not residential insulation in walls. Mostly grain silos poultry farms and slaughterhouse floors etc... I have a pretty good clientel and mostly referrals. I ahve not seen much for competiton where I am operating and people are willing to pay. Don't move here... I like being the only sprayer around. Weirdest application... Flexible foam rubber bedding for dairy cows coated with polyurethane protective liner. The dairy farmer has less labour changing hay and cleaning stalls. Now he just pressure washes. Save son labour and hay $12,000 worth of hay each year. |
