Gerry Wagoner Posted: Mar 06, 2007 11:29 AM	Board foot coverage of open-cell foams? We just completed a project with open cell foam and yielded a fantastic 9856 bf per drum set. Almost would have been cheaper to go with 1.2 or rigid. What realistic yields are you gentlemen getting from half-pound foams in 40° weather? thanks, olger

I have two different suppliers for cc foam and there is quite a difference. One will stick to anything at the coldest temps I've seen. One you can get some distance with, under good conditions.
Posted: Mar 08, 2007 01:22 PM	what seems to be the best CC for cold weather conditions? and what are the limits?
Thomas Kasper Posted: Mar 08, 2007 01:29 PM	I actually have yet to see the limit of basf (FE XF 178) I was concerned about using it when it was extremely cold and waited until warmed up to 0deg in january but it stuck real well then. I have yet to see it not stick to what it gets sprayed onto. I like better yields but 3,500bf on cold concrete walls and sticks like super glue is not bad.
