Trey Gibson Posted: Dec 13, 2006 06:55 AM	Welcome to the wonderful world of bio based foams. We have tried two different kinds and had similar results with both of them, just not worth the hassle for a little break in price.
SprayFoamSupply.com Posted: Dec 13, 2006 08:21 PM	When you say substrate good, what was the substrate temp? What was the moisture content of the substrate? Air temp? What kind of heaters were you using if any? What temps were you spraying at? What pressure? What was the substrate, wood, metal, etc? George

SprayFoamSupply.com Posted: Feb 04, 2007 07:35 AM	There are many bio-based foams out there, just because you had bad experiences with a couple doesn't mean that they are all bad. It is unfortunate that there are alot of foam companies that are unable to help you when you are having problems. I get more and more calls from guys having trouble with the foam and their supplier is unwilling or unable to help. George
