First question does your boss spray? My record is 3.5 sets in a day and that was on a wide open application. If you are spraying residential applications 1-1.5 sets of closed cell per day is really good. The biggest thing with spraying foam is to be able to spray the same amount every day. |

It depends on the type of job and the type of equipment. Using a machine that can pump 25-35 lbs of foam per minute, you could easily spray 3 -4 kits of foam in a roofing application. (assuming the roof does not require a lot of detail work) But if you are spraying residential, 1.5 - 2 kits of foam a day is very good production. Again, it would depend on how much detail work is involved. There are some ways to increase productivity: 1. Work off scaffolds 2. Mask everything including the floor 3. Use two sprayers per rig (never have to shut the gun down and the down sprayer can assist the sprayer locate holidays and low spots. 4. Learn how to switch drums efficiently. 5. Stagger breaks and lunch among the crew Any other ideas out there |

if you spray 1-set you are doing great 1-1/2 set extremly great day, resisential walls and ceiling work, I hope you are getting paid for your effort 2-sets a day you are extremly valuable to business. lotta work in 2-sets especially residential/commercial, even with a electric-sizzorlift |
