Any ideas for a use of waste spray foam insulation!

    When I say waste I mean the shredded foam after the "cutting flush" stage. They didn't use a reciprocating saw but rather a spinning toothed tool that runs along the rafters and creates small fluffy waste from about 30mm down. I've got 18 bags of this "snow". I reckon it would have great insulation properties as it would act like cellulose insulation creating minute air pockets.

    Also it's the wrong time of year for any snow themed parties....:P

    Put it on adverts or donedeal, they will bite your hand off for it.

    Who did you use as the rotary tool is the best way to do it but I could not find anyone that had one?

    Let's put it this way if it was of any use at all they would of brought it back with them for future use. That type of material cured is only useful in slab form.
    It's unfortunate it can't be recycled back in to some type of block or slab as there's always loads left over from jobs.

    :mad::mad::mad::mad:By the way they used the rotary tool but I would advise to actually personally warn them to mind any wires that the electrician put there that may be sticking down through noggins for light fittings.....:mad:

    Surely you can say the name of a company you have used to provide a service?

    :)

    No thanks, the forum charter asks that we avoid naming companies

    It is normal practice for the company to take away their waste and dispose of it in a proper manner. Because it is so light it is cheap to bring to dump and dispose of as Construction and Industrial Waste but it is bulky and hard to transport.

    It's not much use as insulation tbh.
