Tools & Materials

  • Great Stuff spray foam insulation
  • Dow Tuff-R rigid foam insulation
  • Silicon caulk

  • Wipes (if you have mold)
  • Dust mask
  • Rubber Gloves

  • Drywall T-square

Summary

I first removed minimal mold dust with the wipes, then used silicon caulk to seal all wood/wood and wood/foundation connections. I then cut 2" Dow Tuff-R, foil-faced blocks to fit between the basement joists. Then I foamed them in with Great Stuff.Here's the longer story with more pictures:http://doverprojects.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-to-insulate-rim-joists.html
