[QUOTE="raider, post: 77112, member: 353"] do it yourself kits are sold as "froth packs"... my experience is that you can hire a pro to do it cheaper than the cost of the froth packs... quality compares to jb weld vs wire feed... last i knew price would be around $1 per board foot which is 1 foot square x 1 inch thick... 1" closed cell foam is about r7, so 3" thick would run you about $3 per square foot for r21... fwiw to the op, 2015 residential building code requires all rim joists to have an "air seal"... closed cell foam is the only way to do it... your city or county may not be using the 15 codes yet, but it is a great idea anyway... have never heard anyone who was disappointed they had it done...
