Spray Foam Engineers, 3275 W. Alibaba Ln, Ste 508, Las Vegas NV 89118
This training is for anyone considering starting a spray foam or coatings business. It is also for any painters or other contractors looking to expand their business into spray foam. Class size is limited to 6 people due to the high amount of hands on time.
This one-day workshop covers spray foam from the ground up: materials science, equipment operation, chemical safety, business basics, and hands-on spraying practice. It is built for people who want to learn the trade correctly, whether they are starting a spray foam business or adding spray foam to an existing operation. Lunch is included.
Morning Session: Classroom Instruction
The morning is structured classroom time covering the technical and business foundations of spray foam work.
Spray Foam Materials
Open-cell vs. closed-cell foam: differences in chemistry, performance, R-value, and appropriate applications
How two-component polyurethane chemistry works and why it matters for quality control on the job
Equipment Overview
Proportioner, heated hoses, transfer pumps, and spray gun: what each component does and how the system works together
How to set up and configure a spray foam rig
Chemical Safety
Safe handling procedures for spray foam chemicals
PPE requirements: what to wear and why
Reading and applying SDS/MSDS documentation
Ventilation requirements and site preparation before spraying
Rig Operation
Startup and shutdown procedures
Routine maintenance practices that prevent equipment failure
Troubleshooting
Common spray foam problems: off-ratio foam, equipment malfunctions, adhesion failures, and surface issues
How to diagnose problems in the field and correct them
Bidding and Selling Spray Foam Jobs
Pricing factors: material costs, labor, overhead, and margin
How to structure a bid and present pricing to customers
Practical selling strategies for spray foam services
Afternoon Session: Hands-On Practice
The afternoon is entirely hands-on. There is no lecture format, no watching from the sidelines.
The instructor for the hands-on portion is an active spray foam installer who runs a spray foam business and manages a crew of installers. This is a working professional currently doing this work in the field.
Each attendee gets individual hands-on practice with the spray gun and equipment
Techniques are demonstrated first, then each attendee practices, then receives direct one-on-one feedback from the instructor
Instruction covers multiple spraying techniques, including pass speed, gun distance, overlap, and pattern consistency
This level of individual, practitioner-led instruction is not standard in the industry. Most spray foam training puts attendees in a group observation format with little to no individual practice time. This workshop is structured differently.
