Default Never do it at my airport

There were hangars that had the spray foam at our airport. Since our airport has been involved in several major floods due to it being only a couple hundred yards from the Missouri River. In the 93 flood with 14 ft of water covering the airport, the hangars with the spray foam insulation had their footings sucked out of the ground and they floated around the airport banging into other hangars. If you have no danger of flooding, then I may consider spray foam.

Default Great investment

Had my 43x32 metal hangar foamed with 1 1/2" closed cell foam and painted using white acrylic latex 2 wks ago. World of difference! Yesterday worked on hanging LED work lights from 12:00-3:00 and kept the doors closed because it was cooler inside than outside; it was still hot (100+ in north TX). Hangar stays a lot cleaner with no wind and dust blowing through. Also sealed my roof from the inside out. I'll get every penny back when/if I sell it. Once my piggy bank recovers I'll be getting an evaporative cooler.

Take a look on YouTube people are tearing this stuff out due to health effects. As a builder I never allowed it in my new construction homes and glad I didn?t, people are cutting roofs off to get it out. If applied to thick it can cause major health issues. Very hard to remove.

This goes in the category with fiberglass heating duct work just a bad idea. That stuff they used to try to sell me you could run a full knife down it and watch the fiberglass particles fly into the air, imagine what it does inside a ventilation system for a house over time. Fiberglass stays in your lungs.


Just one example https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hh5MYv7lWc
