SPFer Posted: Aug 18, 2010 09:57 AM	Open Cell and Metal Studs We are spraying a project that has the walls framed with 2_1/2", 25 gauge metal studs. We are doing a flush fill with open cell. I am concerned with the foam pushing out the studs. Does anyone have any experience or input with this? Thanks
