Barry Wallett Posted: Jan 28, 2007 08:25 PM	Question on estimating labor for set up and clean up I read on an earlier post that it is possible for an experienced 2 man crew to spray a set per day. Could you give me pointers on estimating the labor for setting up to spray and the clean up after spraying. From what I have gleaned the clean up is different when you use .5lb vs 2lb due to cutting back the foam. Any guidelines that are used to accurately predict labor usage in these area's would be appreciated!

We don't really spray any .5lb foam, our sales staff push's the CC foam. It is more benificial to the customer in our area, as well as to our installers. Yes the clean up is much easier with CC foam compaired to OC foam.... less sweeping/scraping/cutting/etc. But to each their own... OC/CC - FOAM THE PLANET
