Tried spraying in cold weather and it just went everywhere. It says to adjust the little red square to adjust the spray but it just foams up

Not a good idea to spray in cold weather. I have had great luck using Deft.

I'm not sure what you consider cold weather. I shot some postal banks in 36 degree weather, light wind, probably 70% humidity and the can worked fine.

I warm the can in the house just by leaving it on a counter and then I take it outside and spray in an open shed or open closet. I keep the Deft in the house when the weather is below 50. Before using shake can for one minute

I haven't had that problem and I've gone through 100+ cans. I haven't ever stored the cans in the cold. Could that be the problem.

I only use it in a semi warm shop. I think it has the temps. on the can as how cold it will work. Most of my cans do.

Buy the concentrate and use as much as you need, then rinse out your sprayer, don't keep mixed product. We have saved the concentrate and used that year to year with no problem. Just keep it where it won't freeze and thaw. Last year was terrible for hydrangeas and even wilt pruf didn't save the buds when we had prolonged very cold weather early spring. Let's hope for a better year. Christine and Richard

I sprayed from the provided metal container. I had issues with it the whole time though. If i wasn't angling the sprayer up then it would just blow air. That makes it impossible to spray anything less than a foot and half or so off the ground. I wouldn't bother buying this sprayer. Spend the extra money and get something of real quality with plenty of positive reviews. If you're cool with throwing away $60 just send it to me and I'll find something to waste it on.

True for mine, too; but to be clear, it's not the sprayer so much as the hose. Because, I find that this is an issue only when the hose is quite cold or overly warm. I've gotten into the habit of guiding it back down with two hands (one on the hose, the other on the sprayer). Had this been a significant factor in my level of satisfaction, however, I suppose I would have spent a little more money to replace the hose with one that is less sensitive to temperature.

My only experience with this particular type of "Great Stuff" is from indoor use. It seems to be almost exactly the same as the other 3 or 4 types of "Great Stuff" which I have used outside when it was below freezing, the colder weather only slowed the flow from the can a little bit. If you are using it outside be aware of wet conditions as water makes the foam cure up hard much faster. I hope that helps, good luck. And if you haven't had experience with expanding foam sealants the stuff is super sticky and extremely hard to remove from clothing and skin.

I am not sure about this, maybe if you got it soaked enough. I know about freaking out, so does mine. Next time I will get the liquid and not foam. I think liquid would work better and hit the area better. I did not think about the noise, which is what I think scares them when you spray

If it sprays your doing it wrong try holding it straight and don't apply full pressure u can also hold canister right side up at first to start adding then turn over but rem to hold straight and don't apply full pressure spray off Can also mean it's full already as well

Experimenting,cleaning nozzles, tubes, adjusting spray nozzle, thinning paint down quite a bit, at least 50/50 comes out too watery. Pressure from can seemed to vary--not from being cold, unless 2 0r 3 little squirts cool it down that fast. Overall not too excited about the product. I end up using stock sray paint if I can find the right colors and not lacquer based. Usually coat pices with primer before colors, so as not o melt plastic

I used it on joist cavities and block in a crawl space. It goes on almost like a liquid and then immediately starts to foam up. As the nozzle gets clogged, you will start to get some foam particles flying around. Here are what I think the keys are to minimize this: 1) Try to do it when the temperature is close to the optimum recommended (above 65F). This will ensure that the liquid sticks to the roof and foams right up. 2) Be ready to keep moving once you start spraying. This prevents the nozzle from getting clogged too quickly. I was on my hands and knees dragging the tanks around my crawlspace, so it was hard to keep the application steady. But if you can stay upright and keep moving, you will get a smoother application. Overall, though, I was really happy with this product.

I simply sprayed it on and let it work. I will re-spray some areas this Spring. It does take patience (some six months) to see results.

I never use it, have no idea! I do have an advice for you. Don't buy this spray, it can blow up on you. I did my homework and read all the comment. A guy claim his blown up while it was in his glove compartment on a hot day. My daughter was carrying in on her backpack and blew up on her during our walk. The weather was cool and not hot. The stuff exploded! The pressure was too great that the neck of the canister disconnected from the top. It sting and temporary blinded her.

Use a butane refill, like Ronson Ultra Butane Fuel. There's a small round "nipple" on the bottom of the grip. Turn the gun over, insert the refill nozzle and hold it for 30-45 seconds. The gun will get cold as it refills. Any spray and you're doing it wrong.

Mix according to the directions on the bottle and put it in your pump sprayer. You must also purchase and use some surfactant, otherwise itvwill bead off the grass. Spray away!

That blower will throw powder like snow about 6 feet the wetter the snow the less distance.You might also want to check the clutch cable which connects to the top bar handle to make sure it is working properly,it runs down on the left through a wheel to the clutch housing and connects at the top handle with an offset interlock.Try pulling the cable when the machine is running and if it works better than the clutch cable needs shortening or should I say adjustment.

I did not have that problem. Do you live in a cold climate? If so, try putting it in your garage overnight on a really cold day. That might help.

I sprayed with a pump sprayer and did the best I could do, especially the lower affected leaves. It did work. My cousin told me about it. Then the darn frost got them before they ripened.

I have not had any trouble with the pump spray but I prefer putting it on with a dusting rag. Sorry, I could not help with the pump spray.
