RE: Cellulose wet spray



The wet spray cellulose that use glues tend to use a water-based latex, much
like latex paint, to hold stuff otgether.  If latex paint does not bother
you, this likely wont either.

I think that dense-pack cellulose blown into walls without adhesive is still
one of the best ways to insulate a wall with cellulose.

Hi,

Anyone familiar with cellulose used dry for ceiling isulation and used wet
in vertical stud walls?

Is the glue (to prevent settling) in the wet spray toxic in any way?

Are they a good option for frame insulation?

Any other better options?

Thanks,

Rich
