sprayaway Posted: Apr 07, 2010 06:23 AM	Hi Bayouboy, There are different ways to get a smooth profile at greater thickness. Typically we put down 1"1/2 per pass. The 1/2 lap method is used to spray at greater thickness. Have a look at our projects at sprayfoamservices.com to see the 1/2 lap application. Give me a call to discuss your application options to installing this method. Spray Works Equipment Group Dave Penta 330-353-5822 http://www.sprayfoamservices.com/

Or, are you putting down 1 1/2" at a time. I have always been afraid of two thick of passes because it always takes to long for the lift to harden up enough to walk on. I am going to give you a call this morning to discuss! Thanks Steve
