Whether it’s foam insulation, roofing, or coatings projects such as water tanks, water containment and swimming pools, Alvin Harbour, owner of Energy Bandits Spray Foam Insulation Inc. says his crew now uses the Fusion CS Gun for all of their projects.
“Overall, we’re very happy with it,” he says. “The Fusion CS gun has helped productivity substantially. If you don’t have to worry about drilling the tip every 15 minutes, it really helps us get the job done faster.”
He started using the Fusion CS gun when it was introduced with a free 90-day trial through his distributor. At the time, he was doing a lot of 2-pound work and had great luck with the Fusion CS, but when he switched over to 1/2 pound foam, it got gummed up.
“After some experimentation, I found out that basically that the gun was over-greased,” Harbour said. “Less grease and lower air pressure helped solve the problem. I like the CS gun a lot,” he says, “and I make sure to flush it every day so that it stays clean.”
Harbour says the Fusion CS helps generate a better yield from materials because “it’s spraying better and the foam lays down with a nice even texture. We don’t have to worry about trimming off the excess foam, which means less labor expenses. There’s no re-shooting the foam either.”
Harbour also likes the ergonomic and lightweight attributes of the Fusion CS gun. “When you’re spraying attics with tight spaces, you’re crawling all the time. You need to be able to maneuver the gun and shoot at angles where the joist meets the rafters. If you can’t get the gun at the correct angle, you don’t get decent coverage.”
With his business based in Amarillo Texas, consumers are interested in foam for reasons beyond the insulation factor. “With the straight line winds that we get here, and no trees, the foam adds structural integrity to the building,” Harbour said. “Also with the dust storms, improved air quality is a big selling point.”
