Cob: RE: RE: Insulation for cob

[The Van Wey Family]

Regarding "new" insulations:

Has anyone else ran across a website that is a "spaceage" insulation. I cam
across it onetime and am going to have to try to find it again. Anyway. they
were little reflective chips and they really bragged about their product's
ability to super insulate. They were reflective as I said, so they were a
metallic color.

Sorry, I know this isn't much, but it is all my mind can remember this morning.

Any takers out there with better memories?
