Our BIGGEST Set Back So Far: Foam It Green for our SKOOLIE Build

This is our PERSONAL experience with the Foam It Green/Guardian Energy Technologies and our extremely honest (and kind) review of what has been by far our largest set back, time and money wise in our skoolie build. We are scrambling to figure out our next steps will be after this spray foam nightmare we have experienced, but will keep you posted on our progress.

    I was originally planning on using foam it green but like your experience many find their custom service to be terrible. They never make mistakes it's always customers fraught no need to tell them the details those don't matter. There's a very good reason amazon doesn't carry them anymore.

    Thank you for this video! We had made plans to use this product for our builds. I’m doing a 40’ International and my daughters 34’ Thomas. Wow. You may have just saved me a load of money. I read a lot of bad reviews but thought maybe they did something wrong but probably not and the customer service is so bad, I think I’ll pass. Thanks again.

    Sucks guys with the setback. I had many too during my build. Same deal too, had to move out because my lease ended but I hadn't got the bus done. I was lucky my friend let me move in for three more months to keep working on it. Happens, Stay positive, move on.

    Thank you for the review. I wonder if the foam was stored or transported in high/low temperatures from the manufacturer which changed the results. Either way, your review was amazing and I will be using another company's product.

    in 2018 the same thing happened to me $3k wasted. right off the bat compound A wasn't coming out right. I didn't know anything was wrong until it started dripping off the ceiling. It looked plenty green to me. Called them up and they said the same thing. I must have done something wrong. Expensive lesson learned. I'll call a professional with the proper equipment next time.

    Hey guys, that really sucks you had those issues with the foam company!!! It sounds to me like they had those kits sitting in a cold warehouse somewhere before they got shipped to you and it possibly froze just a bit. Those kits are extremely susceptible to freezing temps as well as high temps. What I see your kits doing is a no-brainer for anyone that has part A and Part B compound experience! It sounds to me like they partially froze and they were not willing to replace the kits which they should have done with the first phone call in my opinion. There was definitely something wrong with the formula or in the manner In which it was stored before it got to you. I’m just curious, did you have any estimates done from professional insulation companies to compare cost between having it sprayed vs DIY and what the price difference would be? At least it’s all water under the bridge now but we need to keep this story alive so it doesn’t happen to another one of us out here attempting to do the same as you! If it’s worth anything at all, your bud turned out absolutely amazing in the end!! It’s actually one of if not the best conversion I’ve seen done so far and I’m very proud of you both for hanging in there!! Take care and be safe out there!!

    I was worried about using Foam it Green after watching this video so I emailed their customer service with this link. They replied that they had switched to a new supplier to fix the issue seen in this video. So I took the risk and used it in my bus last fall right before it got too cold to do so and it worked GREAT. I have had zero issues. Just wanted to post this so that others would know they have fixed this issue. Additionally, I received no compensation for posting this I just want to share my findings.
