I had a buddy use this on14x40 cabin. all the outside walls were done with this about 18 years ago. we had to replace some of the outside siding and we discovered that the spray on stuff fell to the bottom. it had lost it ability to stick. we had to replace with batt.

have no ideal how good or if its changed any. I would hate to put it in and have it fall inside walls. a cabin as small as yours could be done by 2 people in 2 hrs for half that.

your going to get 5 foot out of roll so to do your cabin you will need 13 rolls. at $11.00 a roll =143.00 pay someone $100 to do it you have saved $500 you will have r 13.

Sounds like the 20 year old stuff was the isocyanate, bad stuff. The new stuff is way better, closed cell polyurethane, very durable.
