The $20,000 setup in a trailer with heated metered pumps seems like a better option, but to get that kind of setup you need to hire the crew to come and use it.

I just used the Tigerfoam kit in my second bedroom. I had everything set up so I could use all the foam in one shot. I was very pleased. I placed the tanks in the bathroom (smallest nearby space) with a small electric heater for about 4 hours at 80 degrees F to preheat them. During application the tanks were in the bedroom with the heater still blowing on them. It took less than 20 minutes to cover the walls in three layers totaling 3-4 inches. While I was spraying I had my dad helping to keep from getting tangled in the hose and shaking the tanks several times. Clean up was easy, much better than after applying Greatstuff foam. I plan to use this kit again when I remodel my kitchen. Next time should go even better as I now know what to expect and know the proper technique.
