How should air-permeable netting — for example, InsulWeb — be attached to the studs?</strong></p><strong>
<p>Hulstrunk: The best technique is <a href="http://www.nationalfiber.com/docs/DirectionsforInstallingDensePackCelluloseBehindInsulweb04:10.pdf" class="ext" target="_blank">to staple it with a pneumatic stapler</a><span class="ext"></span>
right to the face of the stud. By ‘face,’ I mean the 1½-inch-thick edge
of the stud facing the room. The staples have to be less than 1 inch
apart, so you’ll go through a good number of staples.</p>
<p>Some installers prefer inset stapling or “lip stitching” — they put
the staples at the corner of the studs, wrapping the InsulWeb a little
bit around the corner as they staple. But that really isn’t necessary. I
don’t like the lip-stitch method, because I want the insulation to be
close to the sheetrock. Installers who use lip-stitching are usually
worried about bulges, but we’ve found that an aluminum roller works well
to eliminate any bulges.</p>
<p>There’s another method of installing the InsulWeb: using glue. First,
you tack the InsulWeb up quickly. Then you apply watered-down Elmer’s
glue to the studs through the InsulWeb, using a trim roller — you roll
through the InsulWeb to push in the glue. It gets the InsulWeb really
tight and nice. By the time you get to the last wall in the house, the
first wall you glued is usually dry enough to start blowing cellulose.
It’s best to wait at least 6 hours for the glue to dry.</p></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong><br>*I save the interesting greenbuilding list conversations in my email files and can search for them anytime. <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 14, 2016 at 7:34 AM, Jeff Martin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jeff@open2learn.ca" target="_blank">jeff@open2learn.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div>Aha. Thanks, Topher. Very interesting. <br>

About the tension... I'd think that could work or not,
depending. When you have a flat surface across which to stretch
this fabric, you can get it pretty flat/taut. But when wrapping
it around the edges of the studs (an inch?) I'd think you
introduce innumerable counter-effects that would tend to
decrease the overall tension the fabric is under- or? Perhaps I
need to try this. Are you using a hammer tacker or a hand-held
stapler to attach the fabric to the sides of the studs?<br>

Stapling on the SIDE of the stud is the method used around
here. It<br>
allows you to put some tension in the fabric, leave a bit of
space for<br>
expansion, and doesn't leave any staples exposed in the
front side.<br>
<br>
Thank you kindly,<br>
