A:  Hello TJ, If you are painting just to mark a measurement it should be ok. We have not tested paint application as the product in its intended use would not be painted. Thank you for your inquiry!

A:  I used it be!ow my toe plate on the walls. I think it would work between any wood frame and concrete. The purpose of this product is to provide a water proof layer between the wood and the concrete to reduce water transfer and to fill all the little spaces.

A:  Hello Dan, the Sill Plate Gasket can be used to help seal the framing to the concrete for an egress window. Thank you for your inquiry!

A:  Hello CP, we do not have recommendations for using FoamSealR in this type of application. Please contact your local Home Depot for product availability. Thank you for your inquiry!

A:  I would say no, not s fit as it's thin and offers little insulating value. It's best used to stop air getting in between a foundation wall and a sill plate so in order that it would fill a very small gap. The fan fold insulation is much thicker and rigid and does offer insulating value so a very different use case.honestly though if you want to have the fan full insulation you can simply get the thinnest sheet insulation and fold it or create cuts in it as it's basically the same thing.

A:  Hello GS, we do not have recommendations for using FoamSealR in this type of application. Thank you for your inquiry!

A:  Yes you could use it but EPS form board would be a better product to use has a better R- rating

A:  Hello TinyHouseSam - More information is needed in order to assist you. Please contact an Owens Corning representative at 1-800-GET-PINK for assistance with your project.

A:  Yes. We used it between the concrete floor and the bottoms of our walls. In that respect it acts as a thermal break. I'm not sure it would be a better choice than insulation that is actually designed for walls (ie, fiberglass) but would probably be better than nothing.

A:  Hello Scott - This product is not waterproof. It provides a seal against air leakage and is moisture resistant. Thank you for your inquiry!

A:  That is exactly how I used it for my shed. I placed it under the pt lumber against the concrete slab to prevent moisture from coming in under the plate.

A:  Yes, that's exactly how I used it. The shed instructions said use this or caulk. This was much easier.

A:  Hi Tuckert, FoamSeal R would help to reduce air drafts under the shed. It can also help with moisture however pressure treated lumber may not require the use of this product. Please check your local codes for any requirements specific to your area. Thanks for your inquiry!

A:  To repel termites, I?ve spread thin layer of borax powder between foam strip & sill wood, & into wall-bays before sealing the walls. 30 years later, no termites or carpenter ants, few any bugs; they frequent same spaces to get in, as borax got put.

A:  Hi Ken, FoamSeal R helps prevent moisture by separating wood framing from concrete. This helps to prevent an environment which would attract insects. Thanks for your inquiry!

A:  I don't think it will have a ton of insect repellent, it will slow them down but it just foam so they will chew through it. The main purpose of this item is to prevent moisture from the concrete seeping into your sill plate.
