Dense packing celluose from the exterior with 3/8 in interior sheetrock

JMaxima | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on

I plan on renting a single stage Force 1 blower soon with an 1 1/2 in diameter fill tube attachment to try to dense pack my wall cavaties. I have an inch of existing batt insulation, but my main concern is am I in any danger of popping out my 3/8 in interior walls with just a single stage insulation blower? The wife would not be happy!  Thanks!
