Question from jiwaskow

We’re building a “healthy house” because I have severe MCS. I was trying to avoid using any spray foams, but the windows were unfortunately installed with 1/2 inch to 7/8 inch gaps all the way around. Backerrod and caulk are not doing the trick, and stuffing with insulation can only do so well.

Wondering if anyone with MCS has found the least toxic foam and done ok with it? I did not do well, even after cured, with Great Stuff or others I tested (I think I react to the flame retardant chemicals).

However, I just found this one – OSI Green Series Profoam II – MSDS at:

http://www.osipro.com/msds/gs_pro_foam_ii_msds.pdf

and am about to test it. Just curious if anyone has experience with that one?

Any advice welcome – we have a lot of gaps to seal and with electric heat only, don’t want even bigger heating bills! But of course I want to tolerate the house, too…
