Kraken Bond Fastcoat Spray Foam Insulation (12 Pack) Spray Foam Gun Spray Foam Gun Cleaner

I built a metal building and was looking for options to insulate in the Spring. After seeing small snow drifts form inside my building for a dry snow with lots of wind, I decide to do some spray foam to seal the bottom edges better. I set all of my bottom plates for the framing I will be doing and used this product and it was super easy and worked great. I was considering having someone do the spray foam for me, but have decided to do it all myself with this product over the next several months as the building stages of interior finish progress. So far I’ve sprayed the lower 8 feet of the building all the way around and it has worked great. The sound in the building is much better and the wind isn’t creeping in. As for those who have complained about not getting as much coverage as advertised, I did a quick thin coat twice over and got great coverage, but none of us are working under ideal conditions and probably not shaking the cans as much as they should be. I got about 85 percent the advertised coverage doing two thinner coats and I got much more thorough coverage doing it that way than a slower thicker single coat.

I was excited when I found a close cell foam product with a fan spray in a more manageable can size for smaller projects. My company ordered a kit with 12 cans of foam, gun and one can of cleaner. The product arrived on May 30, 2023, and was immediately stored in a climate controlled environment (73 degrees F @48%RH), upright, in its original packaging. The return window closed 30 days later. Unfortunately, we did not start our first project with the product until after Fourth of July. We read/followed the directions and the first can performed pretty much as advertised. However, the second, third, fourth, fifth etc cans were duds. The cans had zero pressure and the sides of the cans could be depressed easily with a finger. In all 7 of the 12 cans were bad and would not spray. I would’ve preferred to address this with the company directly, no way to contact the company after the return window who closed. The customer service number Amazon gave me for Kraken did not connect.

This kit was perfect for a small DIY job we had. We have used Great Stuff many times but it would not work in this situation. After a bit of research, I ran across this system and compared it to other similar ones; ultimately deciding on the Kraken 12 pk kit.This product is super easy to use. The screw-on nozzle works easily. The cleaner does it's job well in saving the 'gun' for another day. Impressively, it has two type nozzle ends for EACH Can of foam.It felt a bit pricey when we ordered but the instructions, all-inclusive kit (even had goggles) makes this a bargain. It is a top notch product, with excellent accoutrements and our seller shipped our kit quickly and in a sturdy box. We got more than we were actually expecting as far as quality and ease of use.

I had to do 6 soffit areas of my basement at about 5 square feet per each soffit. I went through about 4 cans for proper coverage. The cans definitely don't cover as much as described and they empty quickly. I tried using the "straw" attachment to extend the nozzle deeper into the soffit and it blew off and sprayed all over me, so make sure you wrap it in tape to keep it from popping off.Overall it works and does the job, spray pattern is mediocre and it spits more than it sprays so be ready for that. I had a cardboard box I used to practice on before doing the real soffits, and laid down plastic to protect the surroundings. Safety glasses are a must - they saved my butt when the extension popped off and blew up in my face.The cleaner works mint, though definitely not to be used on skin - it did the job to get it off mine and my hair... Take the spray gun apart, clean it with the cleaner, flush it all out and then re-lube it for future use.

I am using this as a break before additional insulation in my shop. It was super easy to use. It took a little bit of a learning curve but once I got it, I was moving quickly. My only gripe was that it didn’t expand as much as it seemed like in the advertisements.The second photo is exactly 12 cans. Each section between the posts are 12 feet just to give you some context. The right is direct on metal and wood. The left is onto plywood.

I got maybe 90 sq ft out of all 12 cans

The media could not be loaded.  It worked great for me all cans worked. Best thing to do I run some gun clean though the gun before you start it helps lubricate the inside of the gun. If you have a big piece of cardboard to adjust the gun to get the spray pattern right for the foam the knob to adjust is on the end of the gun. After every 3rd can of foam I recommend using the gun cleaner.

The cans that functioned worked good. Three cans out of my 12 can kit were hard and wouldn’t spray.
