I want to tear out the drywall, then use this on the garage ceiling (there are bedrooms above). Will it stick? Do I need to wait for 70 degrees F?

It will stick very well. Product will need to be at that temp. to expand properly. You can make an insulated box to keep them in while dispensing. Best scenario would be to temporarily heat garage while applying. This will give best results.

Hi the spray foam will stick to the ceiling. Spray in thin coats and let it expand, then reapply more as desired. The yield will be much lower if applied at less than 70F. Sincerely, Mark - Battic Door Energy

It will stick, it is sticky, although it may drip down on top of you a bit. There is some minimum temperature you are supposed to use it in, I can't remember. If it's in the warm zone, you'll also get greater coverage. When it is colder, it doesn't expand as much.

The settings are cryptic and not explained in the documentation. There is no off, but low seems to be off (we'll see this winter). Then a comfort zone, and a high. I think the high just stays on. The high end of the comfort zone keeps my 400 sq foot garage at 80 degrees (no insulation on 2 walls). R19 insulation in the ceiling. Hope that helps

I think it works best for walls. Ceiling make it real messy. You will need to adjust the spray and viscosity to get the look you want. I did an entire garage and it looked good. I did the "knock down". Note sure I'd like it for the "orange peel" look as it does spit a bit. You will need to cover anything you do not want to get spray on. It is very messy... but some of that may just be me. I hope it works for you.

This is what I can say....I am 190lbs, I have 12ft ceilings in my garage and this thing has been solid.....and I am not gentle....but on a vertical wall you have to realize may not be as strong as ceiling joints as far as load bearing. My suggestion is get it, mount it and see if your walls hold up....my concern would be with drywall cracks....other than that I think it would be okay....Are you 300lbs? I do kipping pullups on mine and it handles it just fine, no issues. SO take about 190 and double it for force/weight load. I think the drywall if you have it would be the only thing that might suffer....beat answer I can give you.

This is basically just duct tape in black. No more stickier or fantastic than the old standby. I don't think anything made from human hands would work in that temperature. In fact, no one should do anything in temps that low except freeze. Are you nuts? I wouldn't worry about sticking a cord to a window. I'd be more concerned that my kids would freeze together and have to be pried apart with hot water, Vaseline, and an automotive slim Jim. My god man. Move away from there.

I painted my garage floor in the summer in MA when the temperature was in the 70s. I had fans set up to blow out the fumes and had the garage door wide open. I also used a respirator mask. The paint dries very quickly, as you'll read on the can, so once you mix it you have to be ready with a clean floor, a roller and lots of energy so you can use up the whole can at one time. Aside from that, I have no idea about KY temperatures/humidity. Good luck!

It is amazing for the garage. I have a two car garage, 22 feet by 20 feet and it can take the garage from about 48 degrees to 70 degrees in about 45 minutes. Afterward place it on automatic mode with the thermostat set to about 3/4 and it will keep the garage toasty enough to work in a tee shirt on just about any project. Hope this helps..........Bob

Lori,does the wall aim towards the large garage door or is it somewhere where there has a dead wall? The heat would be read as a signature that is not normally present in the space. If so then this should work... if at the big garage door then this might have issues until the heat signature moves fairly close to the unit itself....

The substrate material (what's under the finish) is irrelevant. It does need to be applied in a thick coating and works best if the environment and the surface is above 70 degrees.

Lol, given it is a garage heater yes it works. It heats my 440 sq foot 2 car garage with ease it has insulation in the ceiling. However it requires a 240v 30 amp outlet. Should be ok with no insulation too. It will surprise you - should maintain 65-70 degrees on high with no insulation in temps to around 20. I usually keep it on half thermostat to take the chill off unless I'm working on a project, then I turn it way up and heats the 440 sq ft garage to 70-75 in about 10 minutes from 50. Will work just fine for your small room. Keep the thermostat on auto and desired temp if using constantly as this should help with your electric bill. Lol, given it is a garage heater yes it works.

hang it up for a while... you could use a hairdryer (risk melting it though)... but it would be better if you could use natural heat... maybe even lay it out in the carpark for a little while in the sun....

the unit has a heat source so it doesn't seem to matter the temp of the room (above freezing). I have it in my garage and it is often in the 40 degree range. The unit does put out heat when operating (when removing humidity--if humidity is at or lower than your setting the heat turns off but fan continues to operate). You should be fine. I love this thing. I moved from Eastern WA where humidity is hardly ever above 50%, to Western Wa where it is in the 80-99% most of the time. I am allergic to mildew/molds etc and this unit keeps my home dry and no musty scents. I was prepared to purchase a second one for the upstairs but this dandy unit keeps both floors perfect.

I have a 22x24 foot garage and it warms the room somewhat. It's 28 degrees outside and my garage is 55 degrees. I have a double garage door and there are gaps on the side though.\f1\fs26 \cf2 \cb1 \expnd0\expndtw0\kerning0\outl0\strokewidth0 \strokec2 \}

Yes Maryanne, use the clear Flex Seal. Make sure surface is fully dry, and outdoor temp is above 60 deg F.

I would guess it would adhere very nicely if the garage floor is clean (no grease/oil) and completely dry when you apply it. I use it outdoors and it stays pretty well attached for many months of rain and snow. I think the adhesive can't stand up to the sun for more than 8 months or so.

I just read the label on mine. It doesn't indicate any temperature on my bottle. I will say that I used it in very cold temperatures once, and it didn't dry for days. If you are working on a car or something that is able to be moved, I'd at least do it in the garage.

Yes! If the drywall isn't painted however, it might rip the whatever it is the face of drywall is made from if left for a long while. But on paint you should be golden.
