04

Distribute insulating materials evenly into small spaces within floors, ceilings, or walls, using blowers and hose attachments, or cement mortars.

05

Move controls, buttons, or levers to start blowers and regulate flow of materials through nozzles.

06

Fill blower hoppers with insulating materials.

07

Cover, seal, or finish insulated surfaces or access holes with plastic covers, canvas strips, sealants, tape, cement or asphalt mastic.

08
