DIY Spray Foam has never been so easy with the Froth-Pak spray foam insulation sealant kit. Learn how to apply spray foam insulation like a pro! Froth-Pak sells the 200 , which is a 200 board feet size spray foam insulation sealant kit and larger size kits, such as the Froth-Pak 640, which can provide a 2" thick insulation on about 40 lineal feet of wall that is 8 feet high, or 320 square feet of wall surface. The Froth-Pak 200 covered 72 square feet with a thickness of 2 inches to 2-1/2 inches.
You'll need to purchase a Froth-Pak 200 Spray Foam sealant kit from Lowe's for $409+ tax or Amazon $$$? Other items you will need is a Everbilt hooded coverall for $15, a pair of latex or Nitrile gloves, and a 3M respirator and a pair of safety glasses, or if you want better protection, you can buy a 3M respirator with a built in face shield like in the video for $197 with tax from a Sherwin-Williams commercial paint center.
The Froth-Pak 200 sealant kit comes with 4 fan tips for spraying between the studs, or joists, and 6 smaller tips for getting into smaller areas.
The Froth-Pak sealant kit is a closed cell spray foam insulation. Froth Pak calls it a sealant kit because of the size of the package, not because it's any different than regular closed cell spray foam. The chemical process creates heat, and you will want to keep the heat down, so do not spray more than 2 inches of closed cell spray foam at a time, otherwise combustion can occur. I used a Klein temperature gun to check the temperatures after each coat, and had a fire extinguisher close by. If you are planning on putting drywall on the walls, you will not want to spray more than will expand past the edge of the stud. Shaving the closed cell spray foam is extremely difficult. One small wine cellar, 7'x10' room took me 2 days to shave the walls flat, so please don't make that mistake. You might consider using duct tape to cover the edges of the studs, and plates, so you can just peel off the tape. Cover all your flooring and furniture too! Generally speaking, closed cell spray foam has 2X the R-value as open cell foam. Check with your energy codes in your geographic location, and check with a local spray foam professional to make sure you are using the Froth-Pak insulation kit in the right area, so you don't have moisture building up in your wall by accident.
You will need to set-up the project, and your job site, with cross ventilation and know that these chemicals can crystalize in your lungs, so you will not want to be in the area without a respirator, and allow the job site to ventilate for 4 hours or longer after you have completed spraying. Keep yourself, the customers, and the pets out of the area, if not wearing protective equipment.

If you are thinking that you will save money, time, learning or frustration by just using 20 cans of spray foam per stud bay, I can tell you, that doesn't work. The spray foam from the Great Stuff or Hilti spray foam cans will not stay up/ attached in the stud cavities. Those are designed for smaller beads and small holes. Been there, tried that, and what a mess!
