3) The gun can simply be put down and left for weeks with a can attached and picked right back up and used again (well if you wipe the tip before you put it away or scape the tip before use) where as a partial can of great stuff would require an additional straw to reuse or hoping you poured enough acetone down the straw so that it is not obstructed. 2) I have less waste using the gun than the cans. I am not aware of the formulation being different between the two.

(the pro line has limited options compared to the basic cans.

You are getting the same result as applying overhead, and not wasting as much time.Īn apples-to-apples comparison on Lowes website says that fireblock great stuff is slightly less per unit than regular caned fired block and doors/windows is slightly more in the pro variant. Put a few globs in your hair, let some dribble on the floor, and toss the can in the garbage. If you get the urge to use it overhead, stop. Great Stuff can be great, for filling voids, or other applications where it doesn't need to defy gravity until it cures. I literally wasted 5X as much as I successfully applied. The only way I succeeded was to bridge the missing areas with duct tape, slit an opening in the tape and spray the 'pouch' full. Repairing these overhead spots, with canned foam, left me looking like a monkey trying to screw a football. The manufacturer sprayed the entire underfloor with closed cell foam, and there were several chunks removed so we could bolt a new wheelchair lift in place. I did a volunteer job, repairing the underside of a motorhome floor, after some handicap retrofits to the vehicle.

Not trying to be a smart ass, but.have you ever tried to use Great Stuff, overhead, like you are suggesting the OP does, under his floors? The reason I ask, is that I have, and it is an epic cluster-F. If the savings was significant I'd do it again but the next time I'd spend more time prepping the area. On the positive side, the setup and operation of the kit was super easy and actually pretty fun. They shipped multiple nozzles for the gun but you still want to move pretty quickly along, if you stop for too long you need to switch nozzles. The canisters can be difficult to get rid of release the pressure, dump remaining liquid into sawdust, dispose of sawdust properly, dispose of canisters according to local regs It is a bit of a pain to trim off the excess once it has expanded, a flexible fine-tooth blade works well but it also creates another dusty mess Tape down a plastic sheet over EVERYTHING you don't want foam to get on After you release the trigger it keeps leaking out of the gun so it drips on everything, there were giant globs glued to the carpet that were impossible to get off. No matter how careful you are it makes the most god-awful mess. It's still pretty expensive to DIY, the kit I got was about $800 We did a single room that had some mold issues so everything was ripped out to the studs except the old carpet that we were going to replace. I DIY'd a spray foam job using a kit from Foam It Green.
