My dog has a habit of scratching at the outside door and has scratched away some of the foam insuation between the door and the door jam. There is a thin layer of this foam looking stuff all around the door jam with a metal guard. It’s about an inch or so wide. Now that the weather is getting cooler, I am noticing a breeze comming through and would like to repair it so I don’t have extra heating costs.
We have a two-story, 2,000sqf home, 1950′s, and judging by the draft coming through all of the electrical outlets, door jams, corner cracks, etc, I don’t think there’s any insulation left in it. I know how to take care of the outlets, but I’ve heard about the foam being blown in by a contractor. How many holes do they have to put in the wall to do that? What would prevent that foam from coming through cracks and into the house? Any idea on cost? Is this something that one can do-it-yourself?
Hey there, I’m trying to insulate my barn and I’ve got some answers to ask about these DIY foam insulation kits. I’ve read online that DIY foam insulation kits are very popular now and are actually way cheaper but haven’t quite found a site that’s offering good information.
Could anyone please suggest a site that’s got good information on DIY foam insulation kits ?
Im trying to make something out of that pink insulation foam. I carved the pieces from it, and used wood putty to fill in the cracks and really rough places.
the problem is, when i try to paint it yellow like i want, the wood putty takes the color differently than the foam, so it looks…..odd.
also, i can’t use a glaze in place of the putty because it dissolves the foam and looks terrible. how am i going to do this?
by the way, i’ve used the putty and painted it already, so is there a way to FIX what i’ve done so far? thanks for the few answers so far
only halfway done on the pieces, though, so i can still change my ways
