<Titebond also sells a line of solvent-free, low-VOC
adhesives.  And OSI is coming out with their Green
Series low-VOC line in April.  I think those might
even be lower-VOC than the PL.  None of these work in
the winter of course.>

one thing that gives me pause when we use sprayed in place foam insulation
is the recyclability of the studs, joists, and rafters when it's time to
deconstruct the building.  

The same would hold true for adhering sheathing to the studs; it's hard to
imagine salvaging osb two or three generations from now, but the studs might
be ok.  imagine the language the poor so-and-sos trying to chop them loose
would be using...
