I have a bunch of crayons just laying around and I would like to make a candle out of themThey are all unwrapped (from crayon paper) so I need some guidancePLEASE HELP!!! :) thanks.
celluose is paper, fiberglass is the itchy stuffThey have an R-rating that is what you need to go byDo not put in x number of inches of insulation, you should put in enough to raise the R-rating' to an acceptable levelThe R-rating means its resistance to heat penetrationThe higher the r level, the better the insulation value.
Fiberglass insulation is basically what the name saysTiny strings of shredded, spun glassIt's itchyIt is easy to install for the do-it-yourselferIt comes in batts or rollsThere is also blown in fiberglass insulationFiberglass would be the lowest on the insulation totem poleCellulose insulation is actually shredded newspaper that is treated with boric acidIt is sprayed into walls and overheadWhen it is applied, water is added to activate a glue, which helps it stay putCellulose is flame retardantI used to melt a penny on a pile of celluloseInsects do not like the acid in the insulation and tend to stay awayIt is also a great sound barrier and allows the walls to breatheFoam insulation is sprayed inAs it dries, it becomes a solid, therefore giving the best seal and resistance to transferI am told, however, that one tiny hole in the foam, i.ea pinhole left after installation, can cause vapor damage to the house/roofFiberglass will get the job doneIt is the most common application because it's the cheapest Cellulose is more expensive but much better than FiberglassThe difference in the cost is generally recouped in energy savings over about a year and a halfFoam insulation is the bestHowever, it is the most expensive If I were to build a house, I would use Cellulose.
Line a stove top pan with aluminum foil and heat on a low to low med settingYou can also use a muffin tin with cup cake papers, then you can keep the colors separate to do in layers so it isn't a globby gray or blackHeat in the oven at 400 and watch carefully.
