Before you even think of foaming over the old insulation, you need to make
sure that the ductwork is correctly sized and each drop has the correct
airflow for that space. It would also be a real good idea to make sure that
the old insulation is *as new* before covering it with anything. Once its
foamed over, your done....and its gonna be a real PITA to correct any and
all problems or issues with air distribution.

Hi again,
Of course you are correct, but we have no distribution
related problems at all.
We have checked it all out quite thoroughly, and all seems
designed properly, and sealed and insulated poorly.
All the best,

Howdy,
How might the "cat" get into such a sealed system?
But beyond that, based on what I have described of our
situation, what would you suggest?
Sincere thanks,

I've worked with fiberglass stuff, in rolls. Made for HVAC ducts. And very
large tie straps.
