Akfix Thermcoat Spray Foam Insulation Kit (240 Board Feet) Closed Cell Expanding Sealant for Thermal & Acoustic Protection for Walls and Attic - Gun&Cleaner Included | 12 Pack Set

Product came in tact, nothing missing. Love having the tool now so I only need to purchase the cans as needed. No problems with the nozzle.Odor was not as overwhelming as I was prepared for , but there is enough within the first 5 or so minutes of application that a re-breather is necessary and window open to air out. A simple dust mask will not do.The picture is not intentionally at a distance, but it gives an overall picture. This room is 10x11ish, 9foot ceilings probably made a big difference compared to had they been 8ft (in other words, I used more product per board pass).I had similar experience as another reviewer that showed the product seemingly separating in a matrix of globs and runs. For me, this only really occurred on the one remoded wall previously added by the former owner (they had framed to close an old passageway with OSB). The inner walls of the rest were the cedar type (1939 built home). The foam adhered just fine there.Here’s some considerations.First one also related to another viewer is the suppose ‘dud’ or two that oozes and doesn’t spray.Each of the two boxes of 6 cans coincidentally had 1 can that felt noticeably heavier/denser contents than the other 5 in each box. I recognized this especially when giving them the shakedown - and I shook them down vigorously. The denser feeling canister did not seem to “pressurize” any of notice. The other 5 cans that felt almost lighter and fully pressurized - all sprayed just fine. The oddball can was the oozer.Call it coincidence, but I had the suspicion then that each box had one can intentionally for large gap filling (maybe filled with less accelerant or activator). Why else would they include the straw and plastic fine-tip to put on the nozzle applicator for applications you would not want to blast foam out of (it would be a disastrous mess!). Given this theory, I shelved the other “dud” for later use.Second consideration that I failed to slow down and think on before I went through 10 cans, was the applicator nozzle trigger regulator (the screw knob on the back of the gun). I toggled that in a similar fashion as a texture hopper. But I later learned it doesn’t work the same way.The knob is meant to reduce or increase the amount of depression of the trigger itself, not open or close the channel (like on a hopper). I opened this trigger knob further than I think I should have, which I hypothesize is why the foam came out of the nozzle with a vengeance, and caused more separation of the mix or simply created too much air in the passage of the nozzle tip, hence why you may end up with real thin and easy to blow through passes, and requiring several more passes to get the coverage you want.Theoretically, next time (and I suggest), sparing one can for the experiment, to test the levels of that trigger control knob plus using different speeds of each pass and distance from the surface. I think I would have had more expansion had I slowed down just a little, and closed that trigger to half what I had it. Also you don’t want to pass back over a thicker fresh area accidentally too close - as it will blow right through what you just applied.Given how I did my first run with this type of product, I still got the result about 90% what I wanted, which was about 1-2inches depth of coverage. By no means was I expecting professional grade expansion, or to be able to more than just one room. This item is perfect to give you a 1-2 inch “seal” of insulation.I also think that dialing this trigger back some will reduce the good amount of foam “dust” that it produces.Based on all that, I have no impulse to try another brand. Once I can afford it, will try another batch of 6-12 cans and test my hypothesis.

Wear eye protection and use rubber gloves!This product is the best closed cell foam product on the market.By using this for insulating benefits used properly it will exceed expectations.After the curing process the product is very durable.

Does not adhere well, most of it fell off the vertical walls. It has little to no expansion to it. I did not even get half the coverage they advertised. After checking with a temp gun there was no temperature difference from an uncoated panel to the section that was done.

I bought a 10x16 shed cheap I plan on turning into a man cave bar. I bought this to insulate the ceiling and I should start this with I really had no clue what I was doing just read the instructions and started.It doesn’t expand as much as I thought and the reason for 4 stars is that you need to keep the can verticals so spraying needs to be very close to 90 degrees which makes the ceiling very difficult. Also, it isn’t consistent when trying to do angles needed for a ceiling. Definitely a learning curve and doesn’t always stick well…. Extremely messy (spend the money and buy a painters gown/suit… once it dries it doesn’t come off anything including yourself or clothes.For the walls it did amazing, keeping the cans verticals it was consistent and easy to layer. The next day it was hot and as you can see from the pictures there is a very noticeable difference in the area I sprayed vs what I did not. It took me about an hour to do it.- I plan on buying another 12 cans to finish my walls and hit any spots I missed - I was going to use the fiberglass roles but this seems to work better, faster, easier and much cheaper!Again keep in mind I had no clue what Iw as doing and just thought how bad could it be!

I was really surprised by how well the product worked and how easy it was to apply. Very good product and I’ll be ordering more.

Product is good. Arrived couple of days before the delivery date . I have bought over 125 cans. I have 8 cans not opened or used, but unable to return. I can’t get a return ticket. Now I am stuck with it. That is very sad and not good. I lost money.

Great coverage

worked very well! but soon as i removed the can from the gun the nozzle broke so its half full and i have no way to used the rest of the foam cleaner
