  • Glad I found this! I am in the market for a quonset building and will absolutely do the insulation in the beginning. Such good advice! Thank you!
  • @annwilliams7808
    Wow, you are wonderful. No intent here of getting a quonset hut, but I think they're pretty neat. Your info is great for anyone even thinking about building a quonset. Thank you.
  • @USSBB62
    Thanks, for being honest about the guy who didn't want the the Primcoat. I've had customer like that also.
  • @mattflood5519
    Thanks for the informative video. Doing electrical on my 40x80 and insulation is next. Glad you mentioned the prime on galvalume, I did not know that. Due to the fact these types of bldgs. are fastened together with thousands of bolts that have a neoprene washer, would the closed cell foam form a secondary layer of protection from water intrusion innthe event a washer were to fail over time? My concern would be water leaking in behind the foam, if that’s possible. Thanks in advance.
  • Great content i love all your vid you tell it like it is thanks for sharring

    At one time I was looking at a job that was near North Pole Alaska, (actual city, check maps) Due to permafrost and long cold winters there my idea was to lay down bed liner(polyurea) thin, just a barrier. 3 inches of foam. Place a monolithic concrete floor that would also be a the foundation for a steel arch building. Foam brought up the side of the slab and over the building at 4 inches on sides and 5 at the top making a complete foam envelope that would be the warmest building around.

    Spray Jones, I was maint manager at a WH with about 15 buildings and two were just like what you just showed here. They did not prime the galvanized metal before spraying. FF to when i was there and they had major condensation dripping problems because huge plywood size sheets of that foam were just separated and actually peeling more off under the hanging of it. Closed cell. Sorry dont have pics anymore.
  • @scottcotter6014
    Is spray foam able to adhere to Tyvek well? As well as on the ceiling? I plan on a 2" spray on both ceiling and walls (live in northern Michigan). Thanks much for the video's - good information!
  • @cafekiva7892
    What brand of Quonset arch material is this? - It's much more elegant then the current industrial types!
  • @PanzerBuyer
    Thanks for the great video. Do you know the dimensions of the Quonset hut shown?
  • @philhensley5986
    Do you think it's safe to include a waiver notice in you proposal stating "by code an intumescent coating may be required" when the customer wants to do the overcoat themselves, and will this limit you liability?
  • @Aaron-hype
    You mentioned any support structures they are gonna add, you’ll need to get in behind it. So if I were to drill into a metal piece of channel that was covered, that is appropriate? Also with the main I-beams in a metal building, are they ok not to cover the inside face of them, or will that cause potential frosting? Your videos are awesome btw!
  • How clean is clean for the foam to stick?? I have a newly erected metal building and the wall and roof purlins have light rust the entire length the interior bends. This area of the purlin will need to be foamed, but seems like a lot of work to remove all the rust. Interior of metal wall panels also have light layer of dust. What are your thoughts and thank you for these informative videos.
  • @edwinstar100
    So what happens to spray foam at the end of the buildings life span? How does it affect recycling of the metal, what is released into the atmosphere, all questions people should be asking. Thanks for this very useful information.
  • @philhensley5986
    Another question sir. Could you recommend a reliable effective foam planer? I've been looking at a few models and I hate to buy one that doesn't hold up.
