foamed insulation between rafters
What do you think? I have a shed roof over a small bathroom. Roof is un vented. I am thinking if I foam in insulation until there is no air space, moisture will not be able to get through the foam. It has 2 x 4 rafters and no way to vent rafters other than eve vents. I do not know if the eve vents will do much without a ridge vent. I could space out a 1″ thick of foam board 1/2 inch then foam to fill and put in eve vents. That is the best I can come up with. Where can I find a small drum, say 2 or 3 pounds of foam. with a 3 foot wand or I could make a wand if necessary.

Here is one possible source:

Click on "products" and then on:

I'm not sure if you can buy direct from them or not, but I'm sure they would be happy to tell you where to buy...
It might be cheaper to have someone who already has the equipment to come in and foam it. At least worth getting a price on.
Also...
If you click on your name above (where it says "To: catfish25"), you will open your profile.
We would appreciate it if you could fill some of that in. Thanks!

Another day, another tool.
Thanks Rich for the link. I will read up on the product and see if I can locate. It is two small jobs (4x10 foot area twice), I would prefer to do it my self. I do not think anyone would want to come do a job that small anyhow.
