Spray Foaming a Barge
What kind of red tape would I have to cross to spray foam a barge that is in a port?

i use duct tape a hole bunch,, and sometimes the real expensive blue masking tape,,, i havent used red tape for ages,,, it aint compatible with the foam and it will give off fosdine gas,,and if it is contained could be fatal.... i did a 12' john boat once and the duct tape worked great,,, it was on a trailer,,, next to a van,,, down by the river,,, hi gorgeous george!! |

So I couldn't just use a 2.5 lb closed cell foam to spray on the walls and floor? |

Hey bdtx22 There is a difference in applying Flotation Foam that is Coast Guard Approved and simply insulating the interior of a barge. It depends on the use. If it is for floatation and you are only using 2.5 # Closed Cell, you will be held liable by the Coast Guard should that vessel go down under any circumstance. If the application is for other reasons, then you are okay. I have boats that use closed cell to insulate ice holds, fuel tanks, water tanks, etc... Just depends on the use! Steve |
