Apply adhesive on the cut sheets and apply on the area you want to. Two: call a Polyurethane spray contractor( he will bring in his own equipment and a two componenet liquid that will make the Polyurethane foam insulation in-situ). He will mask the area where you dont want the insulation and spray a uniform coat on the desired area. Two solutions: in the increasing levels of difficulty/expense
