I’ve used micro balloons to fill gaps when using super glue, but covering an entire house in them? Yeah, I can see where that could get VERY expensive!!! And an R-4 level is hardly worth the effort.

You are right, caulk and sealing and minor inexpensive fixes would do as much for 1/10 the cost.

OK, so I was sort of right and sort of wrong. It does exist, but it’s not practical or cost effective for home use. You could cover a 32 sq. ft. area with 1/2 inch foam board for $5 or use $100 worth of paint and the foam gives better R value and takes five minutes to put up. It doesn’t sound like much of an option to me.
