Lightweight insulation
Anyone know of a good product for insulation purposes, such as what one may put inside door panels etc? I have heard that Rockwool is a no no as it retains moisture if it ever gets wet. Upholstery foam (or similar) is probably a bit heavy.

insulation.
The way that the BN islanders and others were insulated for heat loss, not noise, was to use ordinary fibreglass rolls about two inches or so thick sealed into plastic sheets sealed around the edge to match the panel shapes. You could use polythene sheet if only you could weld the edges. Work along those ideas, it is only to keep the condensation from the wool, otherwise a mysterious weight gain appears over time.
