Ok, there has been a couple replies suggesting aerogel. I've read a bit
about it, and understand that it's extremely light and effective, but
quite difficult for a hobbyist to make. Also, probably very expensive.
Is there a source for very small quantities of it? Is is flexible
enough to wrap around a cubical or cylindrical object without destroying
it?
No.. you cut it into pieces at least the stuff I've seen.

thick for $25. Dust free as opposed to:

10mm thick, minimum purchase is 5ft x 58" so it's a pretty big investment
