How will moisture evaporate if it is airtight/
Moisture produces mold.....
-
maybe down south this method would work nice.. not in new england. the moisture would never dry..

I prefer foam but it's to expensive. I have exposed framing like in the video, what netting do you recommend I use? You help is greatly appreciated.

@JonnyRawket cellulose acts as a buffer sound travels through air -and by creating many air pockets it traps the sound by dampening its effects and abilities to vibrate they bounce within the trapped pockets of air - steel is more dense and allows for sound to vibrate through its core due to the lack of air pockets , creating many airpockets is the same as the muffler on your car or the supressor on a gun each time the sound vibrates through each barrier it gets weaker .

@senorjorgegonzales do not do that at all what so ever. you dont want this wet stuff in your wals anways. its a joke and takes forever to dry if it ever does. basiclly you have no alternations. fiberglass batts

you can't rent insulation blower machines in the UK. What do you think of mixing the cellulose in a huge bucket with some water and then throwing it on the walls by hand? Perhaps similar to rendering/harling/plastering? Take a long time, but what are my alternatives?

I am hoping to wet spray cellulose insulation into my cathedral ceiling on a new house. I live/am building way off the grid and there is no one within a resonable distance who does this type of install. I was hoping to be able to rent a machine and just do this myself. Would I be able to just buy a nozzle specifically for wet spray, and use a basic rental blower such as those found at home depot or rental place or is there a special type of blower used too? Any tips?

Isocyanate Foam is by far a better bet the cellulose. I say this as a installer.

great video, i am doing this today for the first time

@pupplesan dry adhesive... glue activated by water, with insulation, like for example, air , fuel, in a combustable gas engine.. ?? make sence , ?

Sound travels through many things. One could say that sound can't travel through steel because it is airtight. In fact, sound travels tremendously well through steel. So, your reasoning makes no sense.

I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about.

If I may, some ignorant questions:
1: Is water added by the blowing machine? If not what allows the material to 'stick' to the wall cavities and not simply fall out?
2: What is the fire retardant? I made the mistake once of buying a cube of this material

Water is in fact added by the blowing machine, however the material is not soaking wet when it is applied to the wall. It is more like a mist of water to activate the glue compound in the material to allow the material to stick in the wall cavaties. Other situations might be cathedral ceiling in that case you would need netting material to keep the insulation from falling out.

The water is added at the nozzle. There are two hoses the applicator has in his hand. The one right above the cellulose tube is the water.
The amount of pressure the insulation in blown in at is what allows the material not to fall out. This material is dense packed which also creates less air to penetrate through.

Fire resistant qualities are owed in large part to a unique, two-stage process of injecting both dry and liquid fire retardants to penetrate its fibers, resulting in an exceptional insulation that exceeds every fire safety standard, and can provide up to 50% better fire resistance than fiberglass. Cellulose insulation also greatly restricts the amount of oxygen available to support combustion.
