Posted: Feb 09, 2011 05:09 AM	Ambient Temperature for Spraying My attic floor is going to be sprayed (keeping vented attic) and I live in NJ where the average daily temp during this month is about 30 degrees. Is that OK for the contractors to spray and if so, do they need to heat the attic space a little bit before spraying? I have to gain as much knowledge as I can so I can try and make sure things go right because I do not want a mess down the road. The two contractors use different brands of closed cell foam. 1st contractor will use Demilec Heatlok Soy 2nd contractor (who is the manufacturer) uses commercial version of tigerfoam. I assume it just comes in big barrels to make it commercial. Both say it is ok to spray in 20-30 degree weather. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks
