[sdiy] Fibreglass

[Dave Magnuson]

Two items come to mind:

1.  Fiberglass duct liner.  It's black, fairly heavy and comes in a few 
thicknesses (1/2" and 1" for sure).  It's  a flexible "blanket" type of 
insulation, but it's not the same stuff they wrap around the outside of the 
duct.   Try to find a duct fabrication shop near you... they should sell you 
a few feet.  This isn't something you'll find at Home Depot... you'll 
definitely need to find a ductwork shop

2.  If you need rigid board there is a product called "duct board" that I'm 
sure you've seen for forced air heating systems in people's basements. 
Foil faced, 1" rigid fiberglass.   There's a similar product for insulating 
foundations, too with no foil and black stuff (waterproofing) sparyed on the 
outside.
