Greetings All, The Duck is going in to get a paint job next month and I am in the process of removing most everything from the shell. I pulled out the tarboards from the engine compartment and I got to wondering..................surely there must be a better insulator than these *%^&$#@ tarboards.
Recently when I was down in San Francisco I met a fellow Busser. He had removed the tarboard and placed some sort of foil faced solid insulation in its place. The pieces were sealed on the edge and the whole effect was that of a professional job. The metal tabs used to hold the tarboards were bent a little lower to hold this new insulation. Pretty spiffy. Clod that I am, I didn't ask him about that at the time. Basically I'm looking for something rigid (I don't think I want to do the floppy NASA stuff like Matt Bulley did), non flammable, and resistant to chemicals which will insulate both for heat and sound. I know others must have conquered this little problem in the past. Suggestions for materials or resources?
