Default OT steel stud for shop building

Can't see welding a stud through the foam as the foam will melt a large hole
around each stud. If you weld the studs before you foam, you will have
problems aligning the foam against other sheets as you mark the holes to
drill or poke through the foam. Screws allow the foam to be fitted tight and
then drilled through the foam into the stud.


yeah, melting the foam is one worry. but the dent puller stud is a
thin piece of wire, and the framing stud is thin sheet metal, so the
amount of energy applied should be pretty small. it MAY be that the
amount of melting would be small enough to not be a problem....
