You can use a combination of spray foam from a can and tape to seal everything nicely. Mike C – Just cut the foam and step it as well.

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:58:51 +0000 http://www.homeconstructionimprovement.com/?p=712#comment-42033 Hi, I'm planning a basement redo and after reading a lot of info on sites like this I plan on using rigid foam (1.5 in) and then stud in front of that. My question is that in my basement I have a step back in the wall. it goes up about 4'ish feet and then steps back 1.5 to 2 inches. How do I handle that step back and keep everything nicely sealed. thanks for any advice. -Mike Hi,

I plan to put up 2" T&G foam taped with a stud wall.
