How do I create a DIY garage door panel insulation?

The stores nearby aren't selling those ready-made garage door insulation panels so I am looking for a safe DIY solutionCan someone tell me one? I have heard you can make it with styrofoam boards?

Answer:

Never heard of anyone repacking a exhaustYou just get another one.
If you plan to use styrofoam boards, be very careful as they really break with a heavy touchAs for my advice, measure the size of your garage door panels firstBe precise and be accurate as much as possible so that you can avoid wasting your boardsYou can use polystyrene foam boards (the ones used in starbucks plastic cups I think) for this, but make sure that you are doing exact measurements by using a rulerWrite your measurements (Length x Width) on a piece of paper just to make sure you won't get them wrong Once you are done, cover one side of your polystyrene foam with aluminum foil, and also cover the sides of the board to avoid them chipping out after you place foilAfter covering your boards with aluminum, stick these DIY blocks of aluminum-covered polystyrene foam in each of your garage door panels using a glue stick / Liquid Nails and you are good to goI hope you understood what I said though!
