Each kit comes complete with an applicator, an 8-foot hose, extra nozzles, gloves, a wrench, and thorough use instructions. You’ll have everything you need to get started on your insulation project. Plus, the step-by-step application guide outlines the process and ensures a smooth process, even for beginners:
- Preparation: Before application, ensure the product is conditioned at 70–85°F for at least 24 hours. The project location’s temperature should fall within the 40° – 120°F range, with relative humidity at 40% or higher. A little shaking of the canister and making sure the applicator is in the “off” position is all you need to get started.
- Application: Applying the foam is a breeze. Always test it on a scrap surface before moving to your project. Keep the right distance between the spray nozzle (around 10-15 inches) and the material or substrate. You can adjust the spray width by varying the nozzle’s distance and the valve’s opening. The foam can be applied horizontally or vertically, depending on your needs.
- Cure Time: The foam surface becomes tack-free in just 10-12 minutes, allowing you to move forward with your project efficiently. You can trim the edges after 45 minutes, and the foam typically cures completely in four hours. Of course, the cure time can be influenced by factors like foam thickness, temperature, and humidity.
Cleanup and Storage
DAP® Touch ‘n Foam® Professional® Wall & Cavity Foam is easy to clean up when uncured. You can use DAP® Foam Cleaner or acetone to remove it from most surfaces. Just avoid water, as it accelerates curing. If the foam dries on your skin, a simple process involving petroleum jelly, plastic gloves, and warm, soapy water will do the trick.
Storing the foam is a breeze too. Keep it upright in a dry, conditioned area, and avoid exposure to open flames or temperatures above 122°F. The ideal storage temperature falls between 70–85°F, so be mindful of your storage conditions.
