myself. I have tried everyone from home insulators to autobody
guys.

That is kinda what i figured but i am having a tough time trying
to find someone to do it. The closest i can get is the guys around here
that spray oilfield tanks & i hate to leave it up to these
guys.

I use a guy who spray insulates almost anything it will stick to. Just explain what you want. I have it applied very light between the ribs of the van on sides and ceiling. It takes quite awhile to mask out the areas of the van where you don't want overspray and around lights etc.

Buy the foam in the can if you want to do it yourself. Total price will be about the same the spray guys charge if you buy your foam cans from Home Depot.

We usually have are truck spray foamed, I have used the bubble doubled foiled insulation in are service trucks. ( thats aluminum foil over bubble rap) Reflex heat very well. For extreme temps I prefer the foam insulation -20 Degree.

Posts like this make me glad I live in SoCal...it's a chilly 50* outside here tonight. I don't know how you Canucks and other cold weather birds deal with freezing TM's, solution lines, chems, etc. that's a rough way to earn a living in the winter. Take care and stay warm, Lisa |
