Applying the Honeyfoam kit 2-component spray foam insulation is a straightforward process. To achieve high-quality results and ensure maximum efficiency, please follow these steps:

1. Surface Preparation

The success of your insulation depends on the quality of the surface prep.

• Cleaning: Ensure the application surface is dry, clean, and free from dust, oil, or debris.
• Protection: Cover floors, windows, and nearby furniture with plastic sheets to prevent accidental foam contact.
• Masking: Use tape or cardboard to mask off specific edges or areas where foam expansion is not desired.

2. Safety and Protective Gear

Your safety is our priority. Before starting the application, always put on your protective equipment:

• Kit Contents: Wear the protective gloves and goggles included in your Honeyfoam kit package.
• Ventilation: When working in enclosed spaces, use a suitable respiratory mask and ensure the area is well-ventilated.

3. Preparing the Tanks (Agitation)

For the components to mix correctly and for the foam to perform at its peak:

• Shake both tanks vigorously for approximately 30-60 seconds.
• This step ensures the foam expands at the correct density and reaches its ideal R-value.

4. Calibration Spray

Before applying the foam to the main surface:

• Perform a small test spray on a piece of scrap cardboard.
• This allows you to check the spray speed and the expansion rate while getting a feel for the application.

5. Application Techniques

• Distance: Hold the spray gun at a distance of 30-45 cm from the surface.
• Layering: Instead of applying one thick coat, spray in thin layers (approximately 1-2 cm).
• Waiting Period: Allow 1-2 minutes between layers for the foam to expand fully.
• Gap Filling: When filling deep cavities, fill only 25-50% of the volume. The foam will expand 3-4 times its original size to fill the remaining space.

6. Professional Tips and Warnings

• Optimal Temperature: For the best results, the ambient and surface temperature should be between 15-27°C. Cold surfaces may reduce the expansion performance.
• Airflow: Maintain good ventilation during and after the application by opening windows or using fans.
• Expansion Factor: Keep in mind that the foam will expand to 3-4 times its initial volume after application.
• Proper Storage: Once finished, store the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
