What is the process to seal a house using Aero barrier spray?

The Aerobarrier air barrier spray you likely read about here does not stick to vertical surfaces, but it does fill all the holes (up to a certain size), so no other technique is needed. For anyone reading along, this is the article –

Aerobarrier home and attic air-sealing spray

When a house is pressurized, the fine particles of the Aerobarrier spray are forced out any holes in the building envelope, to which they adhere, and effectively ‘plug’ those holes. So while the particles do not stick to any vertical surface, they do fill holes on vertical surfaces. This is one of those products that come out once in a while that seems to good to be true, but it actually works. 

Everyone here was somewhat skeptical at first but also optimistic, so when it turned out to actually work, we were all very impressed. To us this is a game-changing product in terms of creating airtight homes, because no amount of human due diligence with a roll of tape will be able to plug the amount of holes that this spray can do. This is a technique that we would recommend applying to any new home build or full retrofit renoation project that includes working on airtightness.
