Insulation for mini frame

Post by TurboMike » December 15th, 2017, 8:20 pm

Bought a kit from our host here, steel is laser cut, going to start the frame but not sure what the correct insulation is to stuff the frame with. Seems like cutting the hard board is not my best choice. What did you use?

No matter how many times i cut, its still to short!! :-w

Awesome!
I recommend using standard mineral wool bats

You are only filling a void here, maily to stop hot spots in the tube. Bog standard batts will be fine.
