DONE 4 - So You Think You Are Densepacking?

Wednesday, August 16, 2006  ·  1:30 PM - 3:00 PM

Explore different ways to make sure that the insulation you are installing is being blown at a density to stop air movement and not settle. The focus of this session is how to increase the chance of getting it right before you start the job. Learn techniques to verify that you are achieving the desired density while you work. Don’t wait until the job is over to learn that your densities were too low.
 
By attending this session, participants will
 
  1. Be able to consistently achieve densepack cellulose in the field
  2. Learn techniques to insure that your equipment is operating as needed
  3. Share the pros and cons of different methods
