Mascoat anyone?

05 March 2010

Almost all the plating on. On our side, we're primarily building the workshop and figuring out where the cradle will sit in the backyard. Next thing to figure out is insulation. We are looking at Mascoat. The stuff seems to good to be true: non-toxic, water-based, easy 1 part application, 2mm thickness for polar regions (!), flexible, lifetime warranty... Does anyone have any experience with this type of insulation? Hard to not feel like a guinea pig. We know the poly-urethane foam works. Now does this Mascoat really work as well as 3 inches of foam??? The other problem is getting the stuff here to SA... I hate to think of the import tax.
