I'm about to fill the walls to my house with this new technology of insulation but i'm not sure how to do it, i already did my attic with it, they gave me the blower and did it all by myself, now i want to do my walls and, i watched a video where they were putting the product "wet" with some kind of glue so it can stick to the walls, but when i went to the home improvment store they didn't have that attachment, did anybody asked for the attachment? or the "professionals" use that, and i have to install the drywall, make holes and fill between studs?, the reason i'm asking is because it looked real easy to do, actually a lot better than making holes and doing it 1 by 1, anyone that can help, i would appreciate it. Thanks!
And yes, i'll be putting new drywall, the drywall is not up yet, i'm just asking to see if i should put the drywall and then the insulation or i can use the machine with the attachment and stick it to the walls and THEN the drywall, hope this is understandable enogh.

Dont put up the drywall.....cover all walls with a 4 mil plastic cut holes in that and blow the insulation in from the inside....isn't that smart?

First thing is whether or not you are planning to modify the electrical and plumbing systems. If you are, it has to be done first. Then you spray the insulation in between the wall studs, scrape off the excess, install a vapor barrier and hang the drywall. The loose type of wall insulation is usually blown into the space between the studs by drilling holes on the outside of the house and then filling the holes with plastic plugs. I don't know if you can get the sticky stuff. Usually it's only sold to professional insulation installers. Hope this helps.

Cellulose will settle after a time and the top few inches of the wall will no longer be insulated as well as the lower part. Since there is no drywall yet, I would put in fiberglas batts.
