Bay Systems Foam
Has anyone had any luck with Bay Systems foam? Looking at their .5#Are there any other .5# foams out there better then Icy & Demilec? Just curious to see what others are seeing. |

I sprayed some Lapolla Foamlok that did a very good job. I couldn't tell much difference between it and Sealection500. One thing I did notice was the vapor was terrible. We were spraying in the heat of the summer and everyone close to the house had the halo. Price was pretty close. D seams to offer some great support when it comes to code issues. |

Spraying Bay Foam with very good results! Almost no odor, excellent production. I may be hooked on this foam. Kenneth |

What have you been sparying? What about yield? Seemed like it had some pin holes in it, but maybe that does not matter. Does not off gas like the big D though. |

Spraying .5 lb Bay Seal foam, usual stroke count on E-30 is around 3570 per set. I have not had problems with foam performance to date that could not be quickly corrected by either minor temp or pressure adjustment. I hope this helps. Kenneth |

Home Foam is better than Icynene. Plus, they tell the truth. |

hey guys thought you would like to know that Lapolla reformulated their 1/2 pound foam so the fums are considerable less. haven't sprayed the new stuff yet but I like that they continue to work on things. A very good company to work with |

we were spraying the new stuff back in July/Aug. the heat and humidity had something to do with the halo but those were some bad fumes. |

been spraying gaco western with good results this year makes a really nice foam...blends well makeing a homogenous pillowy blend...i have seen very little pockets or stringy fingers with this product,,,,we have been able to lift out to 8" in a single pass overhead with little drip... it is a catalyze at time of use product and so it stores well...but you may need to recatalyze if it sits a while following initial catalyzation and this home brewing may take some experimentation to get it down...(but who's foam doesnt slow down with time??) we are just approaching colder application temps and will see how it performs when the weenies take time off.... you will notice increased incidence of halo in higher humidity environments,,, jp,,spray foam systems do not "off gas" in the literal sense,,and it is good not to use that term so as not to confuse the uninformed or,,,more likely as of late,,,give those with competitive agendas fuel for their campaigns of misinformation and generalized tripe.... now air borne vapors and airosols (sp?)that linger till adequate ventilation occurs may indeed be the case,,but off gassing of a properly manufactured foam product, opencell or closed cell, does not occur.. for a good time.... google or wikepedia thermoset and thermoplastic... enjoy dude... |

NexGen and I have been spraying LaPolla recently and the fumes are not bad at all. Most of the time overhead there is no drip hardly at all. I was very surprised. Their .5# has been doing well. It choked a little when it got cold a week or so ago, but we stirred it and brought it back. Good luck. |

One job I have been on was UCSC .5 and the fumes were pretty well negligible and from my eye it had a good lift and quality. I have some vids of it being sprayed by the individual nice enough to let me check it out if anyone wants to see. |
