   I use it and like it. I have the install method down to a science and have posted about it several times here.

   Dow also has a similar product and they offer 2" as well as the 1-1/2" that Owens Corning offers.

   I would post some pics, but I'm out of pixels.

   Search for Insulpink or XPS and basement.

   Are you thinking about polystrene insulation systems that you had furring and then whatever finished surface that you want?The Basement Finish System is a packaged system and is only installed by the company.http://franchising.owenscorning.com/bfs/products/.

   This is what I use:http://insulation.owenscorning.com/professionals/insulation-products/insulpink.aspxIt is a "basement finishing system" but maybe not what the OP was asking about.

   I installed a different "system" than you are interested in.No training but I did like the product.

   Brian,What are you using to cut the insulpink? Best trial and error I've found is to score it with a utility blade in an up/down, semi-sawing motion, and then finish the cut with a pull saw.But if you've got a better method, I'd be keen to hear it.Best,

   Thanks Bill, I've tried that before but it didn't seem to work as well to me.Of course my putty knife may not have been sharp enough either.'Man who say it cannot be done should not interrupt man doing it' ~ Chinese proverb

   You know the extendedable knives with the segmentment sections where you can snap them off and get a fresh edge. Will the most common are narrow you can get ones that use 1/2 wide blades. And extend those all the wall out.But probably the best that I have found is serrated bread knife. At least the one that I have is very thin..

   I use a sharp blade in a utility knife and don't try to cut through it... I just score and snap... most always breaks cleanly on the score line.For curves and cut outs, I use a corded electric serrated knife. They can be found at garage sales.

   Brian

   I went to attachments and the allotment chart.

   I clicked on the link at the bottom to see if my allotments were incorrect.

   And it reset my allotment back to 1000 KB. I was at 368 or something.
